Zendaya shares a cute photo with her small dog after visiting an animal shelter with boyfriend Tom Holland

Zendaya fell in love with a dog during a visit to Battersea Dogs and Cats Home with fellow actor and lover Tom Holland.

She posted a photo of herself cuddling a small dog after the Spider-Man duo, both 27, changed into protective gear.

She wrote: “Battersea puppy heaven.”

 Tom’s photographer mother Nikki joined the couple on the visit.

The home said online: “Thanks for visiting us and supporting rescue.”

Meeting the puppies in Tom’s hometown undoubtedly struck a connection with the duo, but seven years after meeting on the set of the Marvel film, Zendaya has claimed she still doesn’t understand lover Tom Holland’s South London vernacular.

In an exclusive chat with The Sun on Sunday, she said: “I love the ­British accent, but as much as Tom tries to explain it to me, I will never understand rhyming slang.

“Like I understand the concept — but what do apples and pears have to do with stairs?

“It’s cute when he tells me all the different phrases — but I really don’t get it!”
