Just a few days back, Hollywood celebrity Kevin Spacey welcomed a new family member: a pooch he adopted from the North Shore Animal League America in New York.

This past Saturday, the actor took to Twitter to introduce his fans with the latest addition to his family, Ecorazzi reports.

Apart from sharing pictures of himself and the pooch chilling on the sofa, Kevin Spacey posted the following message: “New member of the family. Her name is Boston in honor of the city.”

Following the Boston bombing, the actor has visited several victims and first responders.

“I’m not a doctor or first responder, but if people know me from movies, and walking into their work space or room brings a smile to their face - with the challenges these amazing citizens have in front of them - then that’s worth coming,” the actor told members of the press.
