Tracy Spiridakos' Dog Nala's Huge Brown Eyes Will Melt You: "She's Just Perfect"

The Chicago P.D. alum could have a future in pet photography!

By Chris Phelan

Some dogs are made to be photographed. It's something that One Chicago alum Tracy Spiridakos knows all too well!

How to Watch

Watch the Season 12 premiere of Chicago P.D. Wednesday, September 25 at 10/9c on NBC

On September 11, the former Chicago P.D. star shared an adorable photo of her dog, Nala, relaxing on the ground. Sometimes pictures say a thousand words — and in this case, there aren't enough words to describe how cute Nola is.

"She's just perfect you guys. Look at how cuuuuteeeee she is!!! 😍," Spiridakos said.

We don't think anyone can argue with the 36-year-old: Nola is the best.

This isn't the first time fans have gotten an up-close-and-personal look at the Rottweiler, but all eyes have been on Spiridakos and a certain former co-star as they traveled to Europe together at the end of the summer. The star recently returned from an epic vacation in Lisbon, Portugal — and Jesse Lee Soffer was by her side.

Let's be honest: Seeing "Upstead" hanging out IRL is too cute!

Your favorite One Chicago shows return on Wednesday, September 25

It's been a long summer hiatus for One Chicago fans, but fortunately, new seasons of your favorite shows are right around the corner. While some familiar faces have left the cast, new arrivals are all but guaranteed to become instant fan favorites. Still, we know we'll miss talented actors like Spiridakos. Earlier this year, she spoke to NBC Insider about her exit from Chicago P.D. and the decision-making process behind it.

"It was a really hard decision, and I don't know that there's ever a right time," she said. "I think I've been on the show for just over seven years, like seven and a half-ish years, and I was just wanting to switch it up and kind of see what else was out there. That was really it."

Spiridakos will be missed, but at any rate, it's time to officially mark your calendars: Wednesday, September 25, is when fans should plant themselves on their couches all night! Season 10 of Chicago Med premieres at 8/7c, Season 13 of Chicago Fire premieres at 9/8c, and finally, Season 12 of Chicago P.D. premieres at 10/9c — all on NBC!

If you miss any original airings, don't worry: All episodes stream the next day on Peacock.
