Cuoco posed for some shots with Bug after a park meetup in NYC.

"I have been obsessed with this girl for awhile," Cuoco captioned her photo, and explained that Bug reminds her of a "Princess" version of her own dog, Norman.

Bug's owner, Marisa Grimshaw, wrote about the meetup on Instagram and thanked the "Big Bang Theory" star for her being an advocate for rescues and pit bulls.

"Bug had the absolute honor of meeting @kaleycuoco today and giving her #ahugfrombug ? In addition to being an incredible actress & producer, Kaley is a huge animal welfare & rescue advocate. She is consistently using her voice & platform to spread awareness & help animals in need, & we are forever grateful for the work she does!"

Being in New York has been a whirlwind of emotions for Kaley Cuoco, as she recently shared a moment when she was reminded of her first real acting jobs. It turns out her dressing room for "The Flight Attendant" is near a movie poster for the old Jennifer Aniston movie, "Picture Perfect," and Cuoco apparently had a childhood role.

"First day at our new stages.. walked to my dressing room and what movie poster do I see framed right outside my door? ‘Picture Perfect’ starring @jenniferaniston .. little known fact this was one of the first ‘parts’ I was ever cast in as a kid.. I was the last name in the credits (credited as ‘little girl’).. when I saw the movie , they had cut my one line, but all I remember is spending the entire day convincing myself to tell Jen how much I loved her," Cuoco wrote about the flood of memories.
