Selma Blair looked high-spirited on Sunday as she took her furry companions for a walk in Los Angeles.
The 49-year-old actress, who suffers with multiple sclerosis, had her trusted service dog – red fox Labrador Scout – to support her on the outing.
The Cruel Intentions starlet did not forget about her other beloved pooch Pippa, as the dogs walked loyally by Selma’s side.

The Michigan native rocked a laid-back figure for the stroll, including a navy jacket adorned with white detailing, which she layered over a plain white tee.
Comfort was key for Selma, as she donned mom jeans with flat black shoes.
It comes after the film star took to Instagram before Christmas to explain how Scout has been a comforting and helpful presence amid her battle with MS.

She said of her service dog: ‘Scout helps me with some personal stumbling blocks and aids in my mobility.
‘I am building stamina and coordination with the aid of this special dog and training! I am excited for this time to focus and settle and get out of the house more.’
She added: ‘He is very handsome, and friendly, but if you see me and Scout, and we are working (which he really always is, as am I) then give a smile but please don’t approach. Distractions really set me back.’

She added: ‘If you see me down, do not worry, Scout has me covered. Literally actually. I send you all love and happy holidays!!!!’
The actress received a number of supportive comments to the post from friends including Amanda Kloots, LeAnn Rimes and Alessandra Ambrosio.

In October, while promoting her documentary Introducing Selma Blair at the discovery+ TCA panel, the actress said that she was ‘in remission’ after receiving stem cell treatment. She said ‘it took about a year after stem cell for the inflammation and lesions to really go down.’
Blair said that she was ‘reluctant to talk about it’ as she ‘felt this need to be more healed and more fixed’ amid her health battle.
‘I’ve accrued a lifetime of some baggage in the brain that still needs a little sorting out or accepting,’ she said.
‘That took me a minute to get to that acceptance. It doesn’t look like this for everyone. I have really felt unwell and misunderstood for so long that it’s just, me.’
