Ben Affleck adds new member to his household after FBI and LA police visit: a security dog

Ben Affleck was seen enjoying a quiet evening stroll around his Brentwood neighborhood, accompanied by his son Sam and a new addition to the family: a faithful security dog.

This comes after the actor's neighborhood witnessed increased activity by police officers amid the Los Angeles wildfires.

Ben Affleck had fled his home in the wake of the Eaton fires, which devastated many parts of Southern California, but has since returned, as his home was not directly affected.

Ben Affleck enjoys his son and his security dog

Affleck was recently seen with his son, Sam, and a new canine companion.

The father and son took the black and brown German Shepherd for a walk around the actor's Brentwood neighborhood on Friday and were accompanied by two trainers from Trident Elite Protection Dog.

According to photos obtained by the Daily Mail, the "Accountant" star sported a casual look in a gray and white cardigan sweater over a white button-down shirt and tan pants and completed the look with brown shoes.

On the other hand, Sam wore a pair of green and black checkered pajama pants with a black T-shirt and gray shoes. The young man seemed excited to walk along with the security dog, using an orange and black leash to keep him under control.

Affleck is apparently prioritizing some family time amid the Los Angeles fires that devastated communities near his Brentwood home.

He was recently spotted on a casual outing with his middle child, Fin, whom he shares with ex-wife Jennifer Garner along with Sam and daughter Violet. The teenager looked in good spirits as they walked along a sidewalk with Affleck.
