Ben Affleck adopts a security dog and takes it on a walk around his Brentwood neighborhood with son Sam

Ben Affleck has added a new member to his household — a security dog.

The actor, 52, who was spotted on a recent outing with his middle child, was joined by his son, Sam, 12, as they took the black-and-brown German Shepherd for a walk through the actor’s Brentwood neighborhood on Friday.

Father and son were accompanied by two trainers from Trident Elite Protection Dogs.

The Oscar winner looked relaxed in a gray-and-white cardigan sweater over a white ʙuттon-down shirt and tan pants. 

He wore brown shoes and his hair and beard were neatly trimmed. 

Sam looked relaxed in a pair of green-and-black plaid pajama pants with a black T-shirt and gray shoes.

Law enforcement officers and FBI investigators were seen in the area earlier this week, reportedly looking for the person responsible for flying a drone that collided with an air tanker working to douse the flames.  

No one has been arrested for that incident. 

On Thursday, members of the National Guard were stationed in the neighborhood along with a large military Hummer.

Affleck’s home is reportedly near the edge of the evacuation zone, which could be the reason for so much added security near the house.  

Local news station KTLA has reported Vice President Kamala Harris and her husband, Doug Emhoff, own a home in the area, and on Sunday police were called out at 4:40 a.m. on a report of a possible burglary and found two people who were detained for breaking curfew and then released.

Harris, who will leave office on Monday, January 20, has decided, along with her husband, to use their California home as their base, according to Page Six.

It appears Affleck will be staying close to home in the coming weeks.

His latest film, Kiss of the Spider Woman, starring ex-wife Jennifer Lopez will debut next weekend at the Sundance Film Festival.

Affleck, who is a producer on the film, will not be attending. 

Daily Mail spoke to a source earlier this month that the actor, director and producer wanted to stay away because ‘his appearance will mean the focus is not on his artwork, but rather, it will be focused on his interactions with his ex.’
