Teigen seems absolutely smitten as her Instagram and subsequent Instagram Stories became flooded with doting posts about Petey, including videos of her children Luna and Miles fawning all over him.

\"This little guy grabbed our heart first and will hold onto it forever!\" explained the \"Bring the Funny\" host in a video of her new pooch curiously looking around his new surroundings.

Other videos included an adorable interaction between Luna and Legend, where the three-year-old asks \"John\" if he wishes to hold the puppy, in which he laughs and corrects her, \"John? I'm not John. I'm your dad\" as she drops the puppy in his lap.
