Kylie Padilla gets own dog after golden retriever helped ease her anxiety during taping

Kylie Padilla is now a proud fur mom.

On Instagram, Monday, Kylie posted videos of her new dog and shared the reason she decided to get their own fur baby.

"A very special Golden Retriever saved my life at taping earlier this year when I was hit with anxiety, so I manifested that we get one with the kindest soul so he could do the same for my family," she wrote.

"The universe answered," she added. "Our newest baby. Meet Bhakti."

Last April, the Kapuso actress cuddled with a dog named Nami after experiencing anxiety at work. She said she was "in love" and that "canine therapy is real."

Since her separation from Aljur Abrenica, Kylie started prioritizing healing more than ever for herself and her kids, most especially. Just recently, she said "repair is crucial" to be a good mother.
