No security, no problem: Orlando Bloom and Tom Brady have built-in guard dogs. Well, sort of.
The actor, 48, and retired NFL star, 48, both revealed their teeny-tiny "guard dogs" in a hilarious exchange over Instagram Stories on Monday, Dec. 8. It ended with Brady declaring that Bloom and his miniature canine "win."
Brady kicked things off by sharing a photo of a small dog with gray, white, and black coloring in an Instagram Stories post. The dog appears to be Brady's rescue pup, Fluffy. Alongside the snap of the teensy pup sitting on what seems to be a couch and staring cutely off into the distance, he wrote, "My Guard Dog ❤️❤️❤️."
Shortly after Brady's puppy post, Bloom responded by starting a tiny dog showdown with a picture of his own pup.

The Pirates of the Caribbean star posted a picture of his teacup poodle, Biggie Smalls, also sitting on what appears to be a couch. In the text, alongside a cute shot of the golden-brown canine, which Bloom has described as his "emotional support" puppy, the actor challenged Brady and his tiny pet.
"@tombrady I see ur guard dog and raise you mine ❤️😆," wrote the actor.
Brady didn't put up much of a fight.
The retired quarterback reposted Bloom’s post highlighting Biggie Smalls — with several laughing and tongue-out emojis — and wrote, “Ok…you win @orlandobloom.”
Bloom and Brady’s posts highlighting their tiny pups comes shortly after the retired NFL star made headlines for revealing that his dog Junie, a pit bull mix, is a clone of his late dog Lua.
The Super Bowl champion shared Lua with ex-wife Gisele Bündchen and their children, and the pet was a prominent member of the family over the years. After the late dog died in December 2023, he welcomed a similarly looking dog named Junie.
Nearly two years later, on Nov. 4, Brady revealed that Junie is a clone of the late pet.

Lua was cloned with help from biotech company Colossal Bioscience using blood collected before her death, Brady said in a statement obtained by PEOPLE.

"I love my animals. They mean the world to me and my family," Brady said. "A few years ago, I worked with Colossal and leveraged their non-invasive cloning technology through a simple blood draw of our family's elderly dog before she passed."
The company "gave my family a second chance with a clone of our beloved dog," added Brady.
Meanwhile, Bloom made headlines with his pup after the canine upstaged him during an appearance on Today.
"He's got a face for stardom," anchor Savannah Guthrie said of the "diva" pup at the time, prompting Bloom to proudly agree that "he's going to steal the show."
