These pictures taken on July 6th give us the impression a very cute new bundle of fur has arrived at the Beckinsale pad.

Kate and daughter Lily walked with this four-legged pooch of adorableness (is that a word? If it’s not, it should be in this instance) and he/she seemed to be doing quite fine on the leash too!

Remember, it wasn’t that long ago when Kate and her husband, Len, visited an animal shelter in Santa Monica so we’re thinking, hoping, guessing that the puppy alert is indeed appropriate

As always, we have our feelers out to Kate’s publicist to try and confirm if this is a new family member and hopefully gain info about the pup, too!
