Britney Spears' new poochBritney Spears' new poochBritney Spears dined at a Malibu restaurant with the new love of her life - a tiny hairless Chihuahua pup.          

The Toxic star took the pooch to the exclusive Moonshadows eaterie - and even dragged along hubby Kevin Federline.

And Britney was quick to make sure the pampered pooch, real name not yet known, was achingly fashionable.         

The doggie was donned in an up-to-date red and black poncho, a favourite item of Victoria Beckham and Colleen McLoughlin.         

Britney, Kev and their new additionBritney, Kev and their new additionDancer Kev strolled to the restaurant with the dog in his arms.      

But when he saw the paparazzi -and mindful of his manly image - he quickly handed the slavering pooch to his missus.      

Britney immediately placed it in a Burberry-style doggie cot along with a bowl of water - and her Kabbalah book.      

After two hours all three went for a quick walkies before heading back to the singer's luxury home.       

Carrying a tiny canine around is fast becoming de rigeur, with Paris Hilton recently seen out with her own chihuahua,Tinkerbell.       

Geri Halliwell has long carried her pet pooches to showbiz events and even George W Bush has been spotted with his pet.
