Florence Pugh hits it off with canine co-star as on set of The Wonder

Little Woman’s best friend… Florence Pugh, 25, hits it off with canine co-star as she is spotted filming on the set of her latest period drama The Wonder

Clearly, no one told Florence Pugh never to work with animals or children.

The Little Women star is having to cope with both in her latest period drama, The Wonder – although, judging by these pictures of her on set, the 25-year-old found it no hardship at all.

Oscar-nominated Ms Pugh, who is filming in County Wicklow, Ireland, has certainly hit it off with one of her canine co-stars – Mo, an eight-year-old whippet.

An onlooker said: ‘Mo took a shine to Florence and in between takes she kept going over to pet him.

‘It was lovely to watch.’

She is also working with youngster Kíla Lord Cassidy, who plays Anna O’Donnell, a devout girl said to have survived without food for months.

Ms Pugh stars as 19th Century nurse Lib Wright, who is sent to rural Ireland to care for the 11-year-old.

The actress appears to have found the experience a joy, and thanked the people of Ireland last week for being ‘so generous and welcoming’.

It seems that the film crew were keen to show their appreciation, too.

The onlooker told The Mail on Sunday: ‘Nearby there is a large holiday site for tents and caravans.

‘The crew actually moved the barriers to allow local residents and holidaymakers to come and watch the evening filming. Normally, it’s the other way round – they try to keep away spectators.’

The Netflix psychological drama is set in 1862, so bark and soil were spread on local roads to make them look authentic.

It’s a distinct change from Florence’s current Avengers film Black Widow, in which she plays Russian spy Yelena Belova opposite Scarlett Johansson.
