“Wonder Woman” star Gal Gadot seems to have it all - good looks, a fantastic personality and a wonderful family to boot. It seems like the actress is nothing short of perfect, and a recent video uploaded on to her Instagram only proves this idea.

Gadot posted a short video for National Pet Day featuring her dog. In the adorable snap, Gadot has a big smile on her face as she cuddles her pooch.

It’s clear Gadot has a heart of gold, so much so that the love in her heart extends even to animals. “Wonder Woman” director Patty Jenkins is of the same idea.

Jenkins told Empire that she has always wanted to direct “Wonder Woman,” so when they cast the role, she was initially apprehensive. The filmmaker let out a huge sigh of relief when she discovered the role went to Gadot.

“Oh my God, they couldn't have found anybody better in the whole wide world. Just look at Gal Gadot when she smiles or when she meets somebody and shakes their hand. That is the embodiment of Wonder Woman. She is so beautiful and powerful, but kind and generous and thoughtful. She's just an amazing person,” she gushed.

Jenkins also has equally nice things to say about the heroine Gadot portrays on the big screen. She believes in the character so much that she said Wonder Woman is the best fighter in the DC universe.

“She’s not the only character who has a strong moral compass and a belief system, of course, but what I like about her is that that is her mission,” Jenkins explained to the L.A. Times. “Her mission is a belief of mankind and what they can be. I feel like there are a lot of superheroes who are chosen or find themselves in these positions. She’s one of the very few who believes in goodness and kindness and justice and love, who comes to our world hoping to instill that in other people, but is willing to use force if that’s what she must do, to keep mankind safe.”

“Wonder Woman” will be released on June 2.
