Vanessa Bryant’s dog causes lipstick chaos — and she can’t stop smiling (photos)

Vanessa Bryant is known for sharing heartwarming glimpses of life with her daughters, but this time the spotlight shifted to a smaller — and furrier — family member.

After weeks packed with milestones and appearances — from celebrating eldest daughter Natalia’s graduation at USC with a heartfelt nod to Kobe, to cheering at a WNBA game in New York, and watching little Bianka throw a flawless first pitch at a Los Angeles Dodgers game — the Bryants finally slowed things down at home.

That’s when the family’s pint-sized dog decided to steal the show. The fluffy white pup managed to get into something bright red, leaving its coat hilariously smudged and less than picture-perfect. Instead of being upset, Vanessa leaned into the chaos, showering the dog with affection and sealing the moment with a kiss.

The furry companion has already made multiple cameos in Vanessa’s posts, from cozy naps on her lap to sightseeing adventures in New York, where Natalia even posed with the pup in Central Park.

Fans are loving this latest addition to Vanessa’s reel of sweet family moments, proving once again that whether it’s a milestone or a mischievous mess, she always finds joy in the little things.
