George Stephanopoulos and Ali Wentworth have welcomed a new addition to their family – an adorable puppy who’s already made its on-screen debut during Wednesday’s episode of Good Morning America.
The co-anchor's received help picking up their new labrador named Fig as part of 1 Love 4 Animals' Capital Campaign. "This is Fig and she was rescued," shared Ali on the show.

The couple were surrounded on the sofa by their co-stars Sam Champion and Robin Roberts. "Who's walking? Who's feeding? Who's training?" asked Sam.
"Well training we've never been good at," replied George.
Ali then chimed in on the conversation and gave viewers an insight into the family's routine following their new addition. "We have a 22-year-old and a 20-year-old and they're not potty trained," she shared.
"So I will try to train her. George walks at night and I do the big walk in the morning. And he, believe it or not, is the cuddler. He sits with his computer and my reading glasses and has a dog on his lap. He's mushy. This one cries."

"We recently lost our dog and I'm a big adopter. George and I have been slowly thinking about it. And then…surprise I got pregnant!"
Coop's death

The greatest dog and integral part of our family. He once swam after a giant Elk in a pond. Ate a whole bottle of melatonin and felt nothing. Always devoured all the candy in our Christmas stockings. Slept at the foot of our bed and dreamt running in place. He loved every species. Especially humans. Kissed and cuddled everyone that came through our door. Cooper was unconditionally adored by all. I will miss him with all my heart. See you on the other side, Coop! We still have many squirrels to chase…."
