What Was It With 90s Heartthrobs And Posing With Dogs?

So, while randomly looking up the 'babes' who covered my teenage walls, (as you do), I noticed they all had something in common. Why? I'm not sure. It's not like they needed any extra cuteness.

Leonardo DiCaprio

Leo D had many versions of his face on my wall - who could resist those swish blonde locks and cheeky grin that could so easily disappear into a sexy smolder, as shown here? He didn't need his pooch to make this pic irresistible, but it's a cute dog, and Leo's own, I believe.

Max Elliot Slade

This teen ninja looks like he's holding the poor dog's head up - maybe he didn't want his face to be seen with so much denim.

*NSync

*NSync aren't breedist, no dog is unwelcome at their photoshoots.

Side note: How white are Lance's teeth?!

*NSync again

Q. What's cuter than *NSync holding sleepy puppies?

A. *NSync holding sleepy puppies with pink flashing sparkly bows!

Those frosted tips though....

Rider Strong

Boy meets wolf, apparently...

Jonathan Taylor Thomas

As if those blue eyes and dimples could get any more swoon-worthy, add a disinterested puppy, and I'm clearing wall space!

Jonothan Taylor Thomas, again

"We need a picture of JTT, stat!"

"Ok, how about this one where he's looking at someone else's camera, and awkwardly holding a dog who can't see past it's own fur?"

"Perfect. Make a poster out of that one."

JTT, AGAIN

Nothing screams poster-worthy like JTT with highlights, holding a teeny, surrendering dog, wearing matching knitted jerseys. Break open a new packet of Blu-Tac, we don't want this poster falling off the wall.

Jonathan Knight

New puppy on the block?

Jonathan Brandis

Bit of a step down from Falcor, don't you think? While he couldn't ride this pup, it sure can rock a purple sweater vest!

There's a lot of Jonathan's on this list.

Backstreet Boys

Another boyband rocking the pooches. Nothing quite screams "90s" more than AJ in this pic.

Johnny Depp

A babyfaced, somewhat preppy looking Johnny Depp with a very comfortable looking dog. The dog is cute and all, but I can't get past the two watches.

Brad Pitt

Remember this Brad Pitt? I miss him, double denim and all. The dog looks happy to be there, even though he's in my spot.

So there you have it, 90s heartthrobs and dogs go together like posters and a teenager's room. You can still see the Blu-Tac stains in my old room. Good times.
