Talk about an aptly-named dog!

Since bringing home puppy Happy at the start of May, Miley Cyrus has been in bright spirits, often carrying the Rottweiler-beagle mix around L.A. and even bringing him along on a recent trip to Miami.

"Livin the good life," she Tweeted on May 15, sharing a photo of her and Happy's cute smooch.

The adorable duo was at it again on Friday, when Cyrus treated her furry new addition, first found abandoned outside of a Wal-Mart, to some retail therapy. The actress held her dog close and cuddled him frequently while getting some shopping done, even buying a plush doll for her boy as a reward for his patience.



Happy is one of four dogs the actress shares with boyfriend Liam Hemsworth, alongside Mary Jane, Floyd, Lila and Ziggy.
