Whoa there, doggy! Hayden Panettiere was spotted getting some attention from a canine fan while lunching with friends in Venice Beach on Tuesday, February 22.

The Heroes beauty got a couple of licks from an over-excited pit bull who was chained up near the star's chair. It's easy to see why the dog couldn't resist licking Hayden's face – the petite actress looked stunning in a low-cut pink top and leggings.

Maybe the dog was merely a fan of Lifetime Original Movies? Hayden's latest film, Amanda Knox: Murder on Trial in Italy, premiered on Lifetime on Monday, February 21.
