How does Ryan Gosling spend his weekends, you may have asked yourself every day for the past 10 years. Does he spend them practicing that suspicious Brooklyn accent of his, despite the fact that he actually hails from Canada? Does he spend them knitting with elderly women—an activity he has said is especially relaxing? Or does he spend them in Palm Springs, lounging by the pool at Frank Sinatra’s old place and occasionally saving puppies from oncoming desert traffic? If we are to go by a new report, the actor spends his weekend doing the latter.

Entertainment Tonight reports that Gosling was recently in Palm Springs to celebrate the 42nd birthday of his beloved Eva Mendes when he saw a puppy stranded in the middle of the town’s throughway. Rather than let the puppy be hit by oncoming traffic—not on Gosling’s watch—the actor pulled his car to the side of the road, parked, and gallantly rescued the animal, returning it to its owner. The entire event was captured by paparazzi, who heinously remained in the car photographing the entire rescue rather than helping out.

Afterward, E.T. reports that Gosling eventually returned to Frank Sinatra’s former estate, which he was renting for the four-day celebration. To complete your Gosling fantasies, E.T. adds that the home “features four bedrooms, seven bathrooms, a recording studio, pool house,and Sinatra memorabilia throughout—[and] rents for $2,600 a night.”

Somewhat incredibly, Gosling’s Palm Springs puppy rescue is not the actor’s first act of civic heroism—in 2012, he saved a pink-haired blogger from oncoming traffic in Manhattan. The year before, he broke up a fight in gym clothes.
