NFL Legend Jim Brown & Marvel Creator Stan Lee’s Heartwarming ‘Dog’ Connection Will Leave You Teary-Eyed

The legendary football player Jim Brown has not only portrayed action heroes in films, but is also a real-life hero to the creator of some of the most well-known superheroes in comic book history.

Fans recently celebrated The Marvel Multiverse’s creator Stan Lee’s 100th birth anniversary. Among many other well-known superheroes, Stan Lee Lee was a co-creator of Spider-Man, the Incredible Hulk, Daredevil, Black Panther, Thor, and Iron Man.

As it turns out, Lee and Brown have a very special connection. In 2017, Lee once misplaced his dog, which football legend and action hero Jim Brown, brought back for him.

Lee served as the former chairman of Marvel Comics and frequently did cameos in the studio’s blockbuster superhero films. Stan Lee passed away in 2018, but his creations will live on forever.

Story behind Jim Brown finding Stan Lee’s missing dog

Charlotte, the mini Pomeranian owned by the Avengers creator, was found safe and sound in Brown’s yard, about a mile from Lee’s house, according to one of the outlets. It’s unclear how the tiny dog managed to escape.

Keya Morgan, Lee’s business partner, had put up “Lost Dog” flyers all over Lee’s Hollywood Hills neighborhood, but the 86-year-old retired football player and his wife Monique had not yet noticed them. The couple immediately took action after spotting the dog without a collar. They were forced to send emails to neighbors in an effort to identify the dog because no one could identify its owner.

The Browns then took the dog to the veterinarian in an effort to identify her. Despite being able to locate a microchip in her neck, it was unregistered. Fortunately, while searching the area, they found the missing posters and were able to contact Lee to reconnect him with his cherished dog. Thankfully, the dog was given back to the former Marvel Comics chairman.

The 86-year-old Brown is regarded as one of the all-time great football players. He can now add “dog rescuer” to his long list of accomplishments.

He played for the Cleveland Browns for nine seasons, making the Pro Bowl nine times, the All-Pro first team eight times, the MVP three times, and winning one championship. Brown retired in 1966 having nearly broken every significant rushing record. He amassed 12,312 yards and 106 touchdowns on the ground in addition to 20 more as a receiver.
