Puppy love! Chrissy Teigen and John Legend have welcomed a new member to their furry family with the adoption of their rescue dog from Wags & Walks.

The couple, who are parents to Wren, 1, Esti, 2, Miles, 6, and Luna, 8, have a fun-filled house with their poodle, Petey, basset hound, Pearl, and mixed terrier, Pebbles, and their latest addition, bulldog, Dudley.

While the pup initially needed some extra tender, loving care after suffering from pneumonia, Dudley is settled and adjusted with the help of the non-profit organization dedicated to rescuing at-risk dogs from overcrowded shelters.

“He is still a puppy at the heart of it, so it was a rough few weeks, but when he came out the other side it was really beautiful,” the author, 39, tells ET. 

“It was hard to hear him want to play, jump on our bodies, have so much fun with us, and play with the kids, because his little body couldn’t handle it. We tried to keep him as calm as possible, love on him, just watch movies together and have quiet time,” she adds.

And that paid off because now he feels right at home. 

“He is having a really good time with the other dogs. … They have all really fit in well together and it has been fun to see how they interact together,” the model shares.

The same sentiment applies for the furry fellow’s relationships with Teigen and Legend’s children, especially their son, Miles. 

“Dudley really loves Miles. They have this special bond. When Miles walks in the door from football or basketball practice, he goes straight for Dudley, and Dudley gets so excited to see him,” she notes.

This may be due to the dog’s fun-loving nature.

“He is a little tank. … He is tiny, but strong and just so happy. We are trying to train him, and he knows that he can get away with murder with me. … Dudley definitely takes advantage of how much I let him be free. … I am trying to be better about it, but it is hard because he is just so cute,” she exclaims.

To help their pet learn and grow, the family has been making sure to feed him premium food and goods from their company, Kismet. 

“As part of dog training, you need to be able to reward them and show when they do something good. … He loves the food, of course, but he gets really excited for the dog treats,” she shares.
