Anthony Albanese stepped out with his partner and pet cavoodle for a brisk walk to celebrate his election victory - before he was met by a crowd of adoring supporters.
The incoming prime minister was accompanied by his partner Jodie Haydon and his dog Toto as he hit the streets of Marrickville, in Sydney's inner west, on Sunday.
Mr Albanese found himself in the middle of a throng of excited locals as he pulled up a chair outside a local cafe.
He sat with Toto resting on his lap while he chatted to friends and enjoyed a warm cup of coffee on a chilly 16C morning.

Mr Albanese will become Australia's 31st prime minister and just the fourth person to lead Labor to government from opposition since World War II following his win on Saturday night
Mr Albanese will become Australia's 31st prime minister and just the fourth person to lead Labor to government from opposition since World War II following his win on Saturday night.
While his prime ministership is almost certain, less clear is whether Labor will be able to govern in its own right, or whether it will need the help of an expanded crossbench.
Speaking to almost 1,000 party faithful at Labor's election night event in Sydney's inner west, Mr Albanese said he was humbled by the victory.
'No matter how you voted ... the government I lead will respect every one of you every day,' he told the crowd.
'We can have an even better future if we seize the opportunities that are right there in front of us.'
He said he was looking to be sworn in on Monday
