PEOPLE’s reigning [Sexiest Man Alive](http://www.people.com/people/package/article/0,,20315920%5F20873901,00.html "undefined") is now the dad to a puppy, supporting the, ahem, scientific theory that there is nothing more attractive than a hot guy and an adorable dog. Wife Elsa Pataky announced the news [on Instagram](http://instagram.com/p/vxhUTippVk/?modal=true "undefined") Monday, writing, “Our new family member.” In addition to attempting to upstage Hemsworth’s cuteness, the canine addition can also count on plenty of playtime: The couple are parents to daughter India Rose, 2½, and twin boys Tristan and Sasha, 8 months. When PEOPLE crowned Hemsworth, 31, Sexiest Man Alive, he said, “I think you’ve bought me a couple of weeks of bragging rights around the house. I can just say to \[Pataky\], ‘Now remember, this is what the people think, so I don’t need to do the dishes anymore, I don’t need to change nappies. I’m above that. I’ve made it now.’ ” However, we’d like to clarify: That title does _not_ exempt him from taking the dog out.
