She has been dancing around New York while shooting scenes for the upcoming film reboot of Annie.
But things got even more exciting on set for young Quvenzhane Wallis on Friday.
The 10-year-old actress got to film scenes with a gorgeous golden dog who appears to be acting as Annie’s famous sidekick Sandy.
Her best furry friend: Quvenzhane Wallis and Jamie Foxx filmed scenes for Annie with a dog on Friday
Quvenzhane was seen walking the pup around the Big Apple on a pink leash, while Jamie Foxx strolled by her side and the cameras rolled.
Quvenzhane, who is the youngest actress to ever be nominated for a Best Actress Academy Award, looked cute as a button in her Annie’s wardrobe.
She was sporting a brown corduroy tunic dress over a white shirt, along with a denim jacket, grey tights and matching high-top trainers.

It wasn't a ruff day on set: Quvenzhane showered the dog with affection while Jamie strolled beside them
Meanwhile Jamie was dressed in an all-black ensemble which consisted of a jacket, smart trousers and brogues.
The 45-year-old Ray star is portraying Benjamin Slacks, a politician who is based on Daddy Warbucks, in the comic strip turned musical movie.
It will also star Cameron Diaz as the mean-spirited orphan owner Miss Hannigan, while Rose Byrne is playing Annie’s mother figure Grace Farrell, who is Slacks’ assistant.

The movie, which kicked off filming a few weeks ago, is being produced by Will Smith and Jay Z, and the latter will be providing original music for it.
Will’s
daughter Willow was previously signed on to play the titular character
but dropped out after deciding she wanted to spend time with her friends
and be an ordinary girl, her father said.
'Willow had such a difficult time on tour with Whip my Hair and she said, "You know Daddy, I don't think so,'" Will explained earlier this year.
Keeping it simple: Meanwhile Jamie, who plays the Daddy Warbucks character Benjamin Slacks, wore all black
'I said, "Baby, hold up! Listen, you'll be in New York with all of your friends and Beyoncé will be there. You will be singing and dancing."
‘And she looked at me and said, "Daddy, I have a better idea, how about I just be 12?"'
The movie, which is set in modern-day New York City, is currently scheduled for a Christmas 2014 release date.
