Sometimes, when an elderly owner passes away, the family who are left can't take them. Every animal at a shelter has a shot at a second chance. It's a much better option than having the pet euthanized.

Remember When Tom Holland Promised Bridger He Could Come To The Filming Of Spider-Man? He Delivered
First, a huge thank you to Tom, @harryholland64, @zendaya, and the entire Marvel/Sony cast and crew for this dream-come-true adventure.
When we first arrived on set, I was a little apprehensive that once the “curtain was pulled back” that the magic of the movies would be lost for the kids. The opposite was true! Tom, Zendaya, Harry, @lifeisaloha, @tonyrevolori, and the entire cast/crew made our kids feel like stars. They don’t just act the part of friendly neighborhood heroes - that’s what they truly are.
The look on the kids’ faces was priceless when we rounded the blue-screen to see Tom, in full costume, high above the set on a light post. It was emotional to see him waive at the kids like he was the one that was supposed to be excited - not the other way around.

Thank you for teaching him it's ok to be comfortable with who he is. Also the better term to describe Nan is "intolerant", not necessarily old-fashioned
