Shakespeare, “Star Trek: The Next Generation” and the “X-Men” film franchise were a piece of cake compared to Patrick Stewart’s latest role: that of doggie foster dad to a red-headed pit bull named Ginger.

Ginger was living in a Los Angeles-area animal shelter when Lesley Brog, founder of the nonprofit animal rescue group Wags and Walks, spotted her. Contrary to the stereotype that pit bulls are wild and dangerous, Brog noted Ginger’s sweet disposition and wanted her to have someone special in her life. And that’s where Stewart came in.

Stewart’s plethora of fans ate this up like candy, with one fan even offering to don a canine costume on his behalf.
