Heather Locklear shares adorable dog photo in return to Instagram

Heather Locklear has returned to Instagram for the first time since November.

The Melrose Place alum, who has dealt with substance abuse, arrests and mental health issues in the past year, was back with an image of her adorable pup, Mister.

Locklear has been generous with photos of her dog in the past, including in August, when she ended a four-month streak of having not posted any photos with a look at him in glasses.

Locklear, 57, has been dealing with much more important things than social media, and she’s apparently continuing to make progress.

People reported this week that Locklear has broken up with boyfriend Chris Heisser, and that she’s now “doing out-patient rehab at home.” In addition, a friend told the magazine, the actress’s parents, Bill and Diane Locklear, have moved in with her.

Fans were happy to hear from Heather Locklear. They wished her well and gushed over her dog.

“That is so adorable,” one typical comment said. “My prayers are going out for you. Stay strong.”
