Man's Best Friend: 6 Cutest Celebrity Owned Dogs

While the public gushes over star athletes, famous actors, and renowned musicians, many celebrities are fanatics themselves. At least when it comes to their dogs. See just who has fallen in puppy love and the fetching four-legged friends they adore.

Lena Dunham and Lamby

Fulfilling a childhood dream, “Girls” creator and star Lena Dunham adopted terrier mix, Lamby, from the Brooklyn Animal Resource Coalition just hours before her red carpet debut and mere days before he was to be euthanized. “He’s had three other homes, three other names, but now he’s mine, mine, mine,” says Dunham. Since then, she has done everything to cater to the anxious pound puppy’s needs from filling a vet-ordered Prozac prescription to having him tag along on (and then steal the spotlight in) her photo shoot for the February issue of Vogue.

Hugh Jackman and Peaches

Actor extraordinaire, Hugh Jackman, has joined the bandwagon of ever-growing French Bulldog enthusiasts. From Australian beaches to the streets of New York City, Jackman can be found with Peaches in tow. With his pup’s safety in mind, Hugh makes sure Peaches gets her exercise while obeying leash laws, suiting her up in winter coats and booties, and even giving her a little lift when the lady tires out.

Betty White and Pontiac

Legendary actress and animal advocate, Betty White boasts a breed just as beloved and world famous. The near-centenarian is the proud owner of Golden Retriever, Pontiac a “career change guide dog.” Though he didn’t meet the criteria to assist the blind, Betty has more than benefited from Pontiac’s presence in her life ever since his adoption from Guide Dogs for the Blind in 2010: “Once someone has had the good fortune to share a true love affair with a Golden Retriever, one’s life and one’s outlook is never quite the same.”

Mark Zuckerberg and Beast

This pint-sized fluffball is not only the highly hug-able dog of Facebook founder, Mark Zuckerberg but has its own Facebook page. The three year old Puli answers to Beast and lays claim to over 1.7 million likes on the social network. According to his profile, Beast enjoys “Herding Things, Cuddling, Loving and Eating” while it is abundantly clear, Mark’s favorite things include Beast.

Manny Pacquiao and Pacman

World famous Filipino boxer has a soft spot for his best friend, Pacman, a spry Jack Russell terrier who is also a descendent of canine Mask star, Milo. While Pacquiao showers Pacman with affection and even the honor of sharing a bed, Pacman returns the favor by driving the champ to train harder during their early morning jogs. Pacquiao claims, “He’s part of my team. He’s a special dog.”

Blake Lively and Penny

Actress and model, Blake Lively’s best accessory these days is her apricot Malti-poo, Penny. A responsible dog owner, Lively has been spotted taking her tiny pal to the vet and even bringing her on the set of Gossip Girl and other shoots so that she is never left alone. Miss Lively seems to possess an endless supply of love for her precious pup stating, "It doesn't get old. She's perpetually a puppy, and every time I see her, it's the first time I saw her."

From purebreds to pure mutts, cute canines have captured the hearts of their superstar owners who do their best to treat them with love, respect, and concern for their well-being. One of the best ways that these celebrities take care of their pets is by preventing them from running away, and getting a kennel. Country Kennels Bed & Biscuit makes excellent kennels that will protect your pets from harm.
