M*A*S*H star Loretta Swit, 77, cuts a casual figure in jumper and chinos as she takes pampered pooch for a stroll in doggy pram
In Hollywood, superstar's pets are often as pampered as their owners and some are even too posh to walk.
Actress Loretta Swit, who found fame playing Margaret 'Hot Lips' Houlihan in hit 1970s TV show M*A*S*H, went for a stroll in New York on Thursday while pushing her beloved dog in a pram.
The 77-year-old star, who is a vocal animal rights activist, is known for taking the terrier-mix named Munchkin everywhere with her and clearly shows the pup is above walking.

Former pin-up Loretta looked fantastic for her age as she sported a casual look which included comfy chinos, a back jumper and brown sandals with her blonde hair in wild curls.
Munchkin sported a more preened look as she had her hair styled in bunches and looked relaxed and pleased to be pushed along in her blue pram.
Loretta took her pet out of the stroller once inside a park and later cradled the cute animal as they shared a tender moment.

Loretta has been a long-time supporter of the ASPA (American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals) and often fosters dogs.
She encourages the adoption of animals and when traveling alone she visits rescue centres.
Another cause close to Loretta's heart is Actors and Others for Animals, a charity set up by actor Richard Basehart to encourage celebrities to use their star power to help animals.

Loretta spoke in the past about using her celebrity to promote fostering animals and help publicise animal shelters.
She tells Penn Live: 'It’s hard to part with them, but [fostering] serves many purposes.'
'The animal gets love and affection, becomes more adoptable and the shelter receives much-needed exposure. I’ll often do a photo signing with all proceeds going to that shelter.'
