Lucy Hale was glimpsed this Tuesday stepping out in downtown Los Angeles with her beloved new puppy Ethel.

Lucy stuck to a casual look including a white and sky blue sweater and a pair of black leggings, accessorizing with sunglasses.

Meanwhile her gal pal opted for a country chic look that included a set of denim overalls and a hat with a wide sloping brim.

Lucy revealed earlier this month that she had just adopted Ethel – who was previously fostered by none other than Kristen Bell.
