The Bryants have welcomed a furry new addition into their family!
Shortly after the death of their beloved dog Crucio last month, Vanessa Bryant revealed on Instagram Wednesday evening that she and her daughters are the proud owners of a new pet.
Named Loki, the black German Shepherd was introduced in a series of posts on the social media platform.
"My girls are happy. ❤️ Big Boy~ Loki 🐕 #GermanShepard," Vanessa, 39, wrote alongside the first snapshot, featuring herself and daughters Natalia, Bianka and Capri happily posing beside their new pup — who also flashed a wide smile.
In another post, Natalia, 19, hugged Loki as Bianka, 5, and Capri, 2, posed nearby. (Vanessa is also mom to late daughter Gianna, whom she shares with late husband Kobe Bryant.)

"Thank you for watching over us. We're going to miss you," she continued, adding the hashtags, "#GoodBoy" and "#RestEasy."
