The Affleck family just added a furry member!
Ben Affleck flew in to Atlanta and brought a new pet for his kids, Violet, 9, Seraphina, 6, and Samuel, 3.
Staying in the city while Jennifer Garner is shooting her upcoming film, "Miracles From Heaven", the kids welcomed the golden retriever brought by their dad on Monday, People reports.
"It's their new puppy," a source close to the ex-couple told People. "It's a family dog. It's another sign they are working together to raise kids and be in a kind relationship."

The "Batman V Superman: Dawn Of Justice" star was spotted still wearing his wedding ring post-split, which sources say is the couple's comforting way to help their kids cope with their divorce.
Their three children "are a big part of why they're still wearing [the rings]," the source stated. "They just want them to be okay."
The couple still plans to live together in the same compound to co-parent their kids.
For the summer, while Garner is busy filming, Affleck continues to fly in and out of Atlanta to visit the children. "He's playing Mr. Mom, and that is what he wants to do. As difficult as it is, from what we've seen, it's pretty amicable," another source told People. He "plans to be there with them as much as he can."
The "Alias" star, too, is doing her best in taking care of the kids despite her hectic schedule. A friend told People that she is doing great. "The kids are with her, which is all she wants. She's as strong as ever."
Affleck and Garner announced their divorce on June 30, after their 10th wedding anniversary on June 29. As much as they've tried to work on their marriage, the former couple who had been fighting and living separately decided to call it quits thinking it was the best for their children.
