Ryan Gosling Returns to LA and Eva Mendes | Pictures

Ryan Gosling touched down at LAX on Saturday with his hands full. His girlfriend, Eva Mendes, was in LA ahead of him and was spotted hanging out with his dog, George, in LA just the day before. It wasn't the first time she did dog duty — Eva watched George earlier this month while Ryan was in New Orleans. Ryan was able to spend quality time with George himself recently when the pup went along to the set of Gangster Squad. Ryan also plans to get behind the camera and is writing and directing his first film, How to Catch a Monster. Ryan's next endeavor might include Eva, though. Their The Place Beyond the Pines debuts at the Toronto International Film Festival on Thursday.
