Jennifer Lawrence proves to be a doting fur parent as she takes dog Pippi out in NYC... after steamy date with Cooke Maroney

Jennifer Lawrence has said her purse-sized dog Pippi Lawrence Stocking is like her best friend.

And the 27-year-old Red Sparrow actress proved that as she doted on the little wonder while strolling in New York City on Monday morning.

This comes just days after the leggy Kentucky native was seen kissing her new boyfriend Cooke Maroney after a cozy al fresco dinner.

The Hunger Games vet looked city chic as she paired a black T-shirt with a denim miniskirt that was frayed at the bottom and black slides.

A black crocodile purse was slung over her shoulder. The best friend of Amy Schumer added a black hat and gold-rimmed avaitor sunglasses with white earbuds in place.

She doted on Pippi as she seemed to lean down to inspect something on the street.

But Pippi is not the only love in her life these days. The Academy Award-winner seems very happy with her art dealer-beau.

The pair had earlier enjoyed an afternoon stroll through the city before picking the charming outdoor eatery on Thursday.

Jennifer looked like a vision in a simple denim outfit dressed up with peep-toe black suede heels and a hat for the date.

The American Hustle starlet was simply chic in a semi-sheer peasant top and easy blue jeans that peeked a hint of midriff.

Her bright blonde hair was worn in natural waves and hit just above her shoulders.

Cooke dressed casually for their night out, wearing a navy blue buttoned-down shirt paired with purple pants.

He made sure to get his steps in for the day with a comfortable pair of dark green Adidas trainers. 

The pair were certainly interested in each other as they huddled closely in conversation during the meal.
