It's a case of puppy love! Sarah Hyland and boyfriend Dominic Sherwood hold hands as they take rescue dog out for walk

They were first romantically linked just under a year.

But Sarah Hyland and her boyfriend Dominic Sherwood had a case of puppy love on Wednesday.

The 25-year-old actress and her beau, also 25, looked the picture of bliss as they walked Boo, the playful canine they rescued together, through The Grove in Los Angeles.

Sarah had a wide smile on her face as she held her other half's hand, looking California cool in loose ripped jeans and a cream sweater. 

The Modern Family actress had a black leather jacket slung over her shoulder, Converse sneakers, and a large pair of sunglasses.

She swept her shoulder-length brunette hair across her forehead and slicked on a strawberry red slick of lipstick on for added colour.

Sarah had a pep in her step as she strolled through the lively shopping centre beside her sharply dressed companion.

Dominic donned a white V-neck shirt, jeans, and a brown fedora.

The actor was unable to stop smiling as he walked their beloved canine, at one point scooping the little pup into his muscular arms.
