Tom Holland and Zendaya are known for their love of dogs and have recently added a new member to their family.
The pair already own a black miniature schnauzer Noon and on Sunday, Tom, 27, was seen walking around leafy south west London with a new doberman puppy.
It is thought the puppy was supplied by Protection Dogs Worldwide, which specialises in family security dogs.
MailOnline has contacted Tom Holland and Zendaya's representatives for comment.
Last year, Zendaya hired an ex-Royal Marine as her bodyguard.

The Hollywood star, 27, famed for her role in Marvel's Spider-Man films, reportedly enlisted the services of the man, who once appeared on the ITV dating show, Take Me Out.
The man named Joel was seen standing guard by her side as she enjoyed a private shopping spree at a Vivienne Westwood store in London last year.
He also minded the Euphoria actress at a Bulgari event in Venice last June.
During his time on Take Me Out in 2019, presented by Paddy McGuinness, Joel described himself as a 'real life action man looking for an outdoorsy kind of girl, who does also like a cosy night'.
While he initially made a great impression with most of the ladies keeping their lights on, some girls quickly switched off when he declared he treats his housework like a military operation.
Meanwhile Tom, who is currently playing Romeo in the play at the Duke Of York Theatre, opted for a low-key look in a grey T-shirt with baggy jeans and trainers and wore a bag slung across his body.
Since the new play began in London's theatreland, Tom has been debuting a new cropped haircut after years of sporting longer tousled locks.
Hundreds have gathered outside the stagedoor each night to catch a glimpse of the Hollywood hunk as he heads home following the performance.

Zendaya, also 27, is said to have taken the threats seriously and was scared for her and Tom's safety, so wanted to beef up her security

In February more than 60,000 frenzied fans scrambled to buy tickets for Tom's West End run and tickets sold out in two hours.
Some compared the stress of trying to get their hands on tickets as on par with Taylor Swift's Eras tour.
Zendaya joined Tom at the press night performance as she showed her support for her leading man, leaving the venue hand-in-hand.

Tom previously revealed the reason he keeps his relationship with girlfriend Zendaya so private is because their bond is the 'thing he keeps most sacred'.
Last year, he said on Jay Shetty's podcast: 'My relationship is the thing I keep most sacred. I don't talk about it. I try my best to keep it as private as possible.'
'We both feel like that is the healthiest way for us to move on as a couple, so I do try to keep as removed from Hollywood as possible.'
DAILY MAIL'S PATRICK MARMION REVIEWS ROMEO AND JULIET
Spider-Man Tom Holland was never going to have much difficulty scaling the walls of the Capulets' villa in Verona to reach Juliet's balcony in Shakespeare's love story.
But in the event, Jamie Lloyd's daringly dirgeful production, which opened in the West End last night, only requires him to reach the giddy heights of a microphone stand.
Yes, this new production of Romeo & Juliet is a typical example of Lloyd celebrity minimalism, following in the footsteps of James McAvoy in Cyrano and Nicole Scherzinger in Sunset Boulevard.
As usual, that means a run on mics in the capital for a production that is whispered - and sometimes merely breathed - into the amplification system.

Gone is the sunshine of fair Verona, where Shakespeare lays his scene.
Instead, we get the Stygian darkness of Soutra Gilmour's stage design - empty but for lighting rigs and a giant cinematic billboard relaying close-ups of the action as cameramen track actors on stage, and around the building itself (Romeo's banishment to Mantua takes him up on to the roof).
The play is famously preoccupied with death and Lloyd makes the most of that, with a cast dressed in black jeans, T-shirts and hoodies. It's monotone, monochrome and mannered. If you took the production's pulse, you might be tempted to call a priest.
Sometimes, it even feels as if Lloyd is deliberately trying to throttle the life out of the febrile passion that normally drives this headlong love story. And yet, cometh the hour, cometh the (Spider) man... all 5ft 8ins of him.
Damn, he's a buff and good-looking bloke. His commanding cheekbones and curving jaw suck the breath from the audience and keep us wrapped in his dreamy gaze.

I missed the colour of the masked ball where Romeo and Juliet meet, and the drama of the sword fight when Romeo calamitously kills Juliet's cousin Tybalt
After meeting Juliet he does a jig like a footballer celebrating a goal, but otherwise moves with the precision of a cat. And although it's stillness he does best, the shy smiles he scatters on his beloved are - in Hollywood terms - worth a million dollars. In the circumstances, Francesca Amewudah-Rivers holds up well as Juliet.
Lloyd discourages her from showing too much personality or independent spirit (as he does everyone), yet she has a quiet maturity that sits easily with the poetry.
Likewise, Michael Balogun as Friar Lawrence imposes gravitas and good sense on the not so rash young lovers. The one surprise is Freema Agyeman as Juliet's youthful Nurse.
Normally ample, ageing and garrulous, Nurse is here a 30-something party girl with attitude. Much of her wittering in the Bard's original is cut, and instead she gets lines from Juliet's mother, who is controversially ditched altogether.

But we may not get a chance to see Holland live on stage again if Hollywood has its way - so happy are they who have a ticket already for this curious but nearly sold-out requiem. And even happier they who can afford £275 a pop.
