IT was puppy love for Zendaya on a visit to Battersea Dogs and Cats Home with fellow screen star and boyfriend Tom Holland.
She shared a pic of herself cradling a tiny pooch after the Spider-Man pair, both 27, did a quick change into protective suits.

Meeting the puppies in Tom's home town obviously struck a chord with the pair, but seven years after meeting on the set of the Marvel film, California-born Zendaya has admitted she still can’t understand the South London slang of boyfriend Tom Holland.
In an exclusive chat with The Sun on Sunday, she said: “I love the British accent, but as much as Tom tries to explain it to me, I will never understand rhyming slang.
"Like I understand the concept — but what do apples and pears have to do with stairs?
"It’s cute when he tells me all the different phrases — but I really don’t get it!”
