Every day I wake up and ask myself what this world did to be worthy of Tom Holland.

Over the past few years the 21-year-old actor captured hearts as young Spider Man in Homecoming and other recent Marvel films. The delivery of his "I don't feel so good" line in Avengers: Infinity War brought audiences to tears, and just when you thought he couldn't get any more precious, what does he do?

He finds a stray dog and takes it to the freaking vet. 😢

On Tuesday, the actor shared a very important PSA on his Instagram story, which a fan later captured and posted to Twitter.

"A bit of an odd message — I was walking around Kingston and we found this dog that seems to have been stray for the last few days," Tom, who's seen walking alongside a human pal and a cute lil pup, said to the camera.

"If it is your dog please let us know. We're going to take him to the vet to make sure he's all okay," the IRL hero with the most perfect curl on his forehead continued.

Tom knows better than anyone that with great power comes great responsibility, so he was sure to follow through on his promise. In a second video, Tom is seen bonding with his new furry friend at the vet. He's holding the dog on a leash and they appear to be great friends.

After getting the pup checked, the actor posted a third update from the car. "So, update on Bruno," our friendly neighborhood Tom Holland said. "We took him to the vet, and he's got a microchip. They have his owner's contact info, and they're gonna find out where he lives, and hopefully they'll bring him home."

Tom and his friend celebrated their good deed with a high five and hope has been somewhat restored in humanity.
