Dakota Johnson Adopts New Dog Amid Chris Martin Breakup
Dakota Johnson has a new addition to her family.
The 35-year-old Materialists star made an appearance on Amy Poehler‘s Good Hang Podcast, where she debuted her new puppy named Tokyo, which she rescued from the Santa Barbara Humane Society in California.
“We rescued her on Saturday from the Santa Barbara pound,” she said, adding: “I didn’t plan on it.”

Dakota admitted she was still coping with the death of her previous dog Zeppelin, who died in December at age 17.
“I thought, ‘It’s gonna be a while,’” she recalled. “But then I saw her, and she’s an angel.”
Dakota said her new puppy’s playfulness inside the recording studio was a new development.
“She’s a performer,” Dakota joked after Tokyo began sniffing her microphone. “Honestly, she has come alive on camera. She normally hides in the back of her crate. She’s really timid. And now she’s like, ‘Here I am.’”
“You’re an actress just like your mom!” she joked, talking to the dog.
Dakota’s new adoption comes just days after it was reported that Dakota and longtime boyfriend Chris Martin split up.
