There’s a lot to be said for the power of a teeny-tiny dog to lift your spirits, and we defy anyone to look at these photos of Emilia Clarke’s dachshund without smiling.
The Game Of Thrones star, 33, looked like she was having a fantastic time as she took her pet sausage dog, Ted, out for a walk near her home in London.
Emilia didn’t let the rain stop her and Ted getting some exercise and the pair headed to the park with an umbrella despite the drizzle.
While Ted walked obediently along with Emilia on his lead, when she let him off in the park he decided to join in with a game of football some kids were playing.
The sight of a dog so small chasing a ball bigger than its own body is quite literally the most wholesome thing we’ve seen all day.
Emilia couldn’t hide her surprise to see Ted take on the football, and gaped as he sniffed at the ball.
The actress was recognised by fans on her walk and took part in some socially-distanced selfies with them too.
She spent a while speaking to fellow dog owners, making the most of the social aspects of owning an adorable pup in lockdown.
Emilia had adopted Ted in January, and understandably was smitten with him straight away – and let’s face it, how could anyone not be?
She posted photos of the dog, captioning them: ‘He just can’t stop. He physically.cannot.stop being the MOST BEAUTIFUL PUPPY IN THE ENTIRE WORLD.
‘Erryone meet Ted. Super Ted. My new main squeeze. Light of my goddamn life.
‘Ready to fill this Instagram feed to bursting whilst still being able to leave room in a teacup. #goodbyesleepgoodbyecarpetsgoodbyeslippershellopoop #coshesworthit.’
Honestly, we’re just going to look at these pictures of Ted every time we need cheering up because they’re just too cute.
