The Hilarious Way Millie Bobby Brown’s Poodle Is Dealing With Her New Baby

When your dog is your first baby, it can be a huge adjustment when you bring home a baby of the human variety. And actress Millie Bobby Brown knows this all too well. 

In a December 2025 interview on The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon, Brown said her beloved mini poodle, Winnie, isn’t all that fond of her and her husband Jake Bongiovi's new daughter. She said that her dog has decided to ignore the baby, whom the couple adopted during the summer of 2025. 

“It’s a power play for her. She knows what she's doing. She's like, ‘I'm going to ignore you until you disappear basically.’ And I'm like, ‘Winnie,’ I have sit-downs with her. I'm like, ‘She's not going anywhere now.’ She took one of my daughter's bath toys  and ran it up the stairs and I said, ‘I saw you do that.’ And she poked her head around the corner and just death-stared at me,” said Brown in the interview. 

If you are a fan of Brown and Winnie, the poodle’s attitude toward her baby shouldn’t come as a surprise. In a 2024 interview on The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon, alongside the adorable dog, Brown described her furry friend as “selfish” and “a queen.” She also said that her dog is always by her side on television and film sets because “she gets really anxious” if she can’t see her mom.

“We have a little codependency issue,” quipped Brown. 

The Stranger Things star then explained that she adopted Winnie during the height of the COVID pandemic in 2020, meaning they spent a lot of time alone together when she was a puppy.
