Ryan Gosling [1] is really living his best life right now. The Nice Guys actor [2] stepped out in New York City on Thursday and made a new friend while making his way into the Ed Sullivan Theater for an appearance on The Late Show With Stephen Colbert. Ryan, who recently welcomed his second child, a daughter [3], with Eva Mendes [4], attracted the attention of an adorable dog after getting out of his car. After snapping a few selfies with fans, Ryan bent down to pet the obviously thrilled animal.

The sweet outing comes on the heels of a busy few days for the actor. In addition to making a hilarious appearance on Jimmy Kimmel with Will Ferrell [5], Ryan also let a fan straddle him [6], opened up about his "angels" [7] on GMA, looked ridiculously handsome [8] on the red carpet, and shared a sweet story about daughter Esmeralda [9] on The Ellen DeGeneres Show.
