Sometimes you just need some puppy snuggles.

Following several beautiful tributes to her late father-in-law, Kirk Douglas, who died last week, Catherine Zeta-Jones introduced a new family dog on Instagram.

"Introducing Taylor Douglas to the world," she captioned her post alongside a heart emoji.

The video pans through several photos and videos of the adorable, fluffy, golden pup that would make any breathing human squeal with delight.

Zeta-Jones confirmed on the post that the dog is a maltipoo, which is a cross between a Maltese and a toy or miniature Poodle.

"OMG cuteness overload," one fan commented on her post.

"Happiness is a warm puppy," another added. 

Yes, it is. And the Douglas family could use it now.

Icon and "Spartacus" star Kirk Douglas died Feb. 5 at the age of 103. Douglas was the father of Michael Douglas, who is married to Zeta-Jones. 

Last week, Zeta-Jones shared a sweet black-and-white picture of her kissing her father-in-law's cheek.

"To my darling Kirk," she wrote. "I shall love you for the rest of my life. I miss you already. Sleep tight."

Michael Douglas shared some words about his father on Instagram as well. 

"Let me end with the words I told him on his last birthday and which will always remain true. Dad - I love you so much and I am so proud to be your son," he captioned several family photos. 

He added: "Kirk's life was well lived, and he leaves a legacy in film that will endure for generations to come, and a history as a renowned philanthropist who worked to aid the public and bring peace to the planet."
