Celebrities And Their Barking Fur Babies

By Iulia P

Being a good human to a dog is probably one of the best things life has to offer. Not only do you receive love, attention, and a loyal companion to kill time with. But, if you are the dog, you also get treats, toys, fun trips to the park, and cool new beds. All for free! All you need to do is look and act cute and sometimes give your human puppy eyes to make sure you get what you want. Now, imagine being the pup of a very important person; a celebrity. The spoiling goes to another level: thousand dollar beds, diamond collars, and personal chefs to cook your dog food. These dogs are the definition of spoiled and blessed, and we personally are jealous. Here are some celebs and their four-legged furry friends that will make you smile.

Patrick Stewart

Or, as the majority of us know him: Professor Charles Xavier, from the X-Men series. If in the series, he plays the role of a solemn person who barely smiles. However, in real life, Patrick Stewart is all smiles and giggles.

Meet Ginger! She is a foster Pitbull who Stewart fell in love with. The connection between the two was so strong that Steward decided to adopt her despite his busy agenda, but he couldn’t. It turns out that the U.K, the country where the actor lives part of the year, has a very strict policy when it comes to Pitbulls. They are forbidden there.

Hugh Jackman

It looks like the X-Men are really huge dog lovers. The Aussie actor, Hugh Jackman, known for playing Wolverine, is the happy “father” to two doggos called Allegra, who is a poodle and terrier mix, and Dali the French bulldog.

Even if Jackman is most of the time in the USA filming movies, he always makes sure to stay in touch with his family. And, yes! This includes his beloved fur babies, who he always asks to be put on the phone.

Amanda Seyfriend

The beautiful American decided she would love to have a four-legged partner. So she got herself the best dog the US (yes, the US!) has to offer, and that is the Australian Shepherd. His name is Finn, and the two are inseparable.

Finn is a rescue pup, and the actress considers him to be her salvation. It turns out Seyfried has dealt with anxiety for a long time before getting Finn, and he actually helped her out with this issue. If dogs are not angels sent from above, then we don’t know who is.

Henry Cavill

The actor Henry Cavill, or how most of us know him, Superman, is the proud dad of a very big yet very calm and docile American Akita called Kal. Just by looking at the picture, you can actually see how awesome the actor’s bestie really is.

Cavill usually steals the limelight in all the pictures snapped on the red carpet, but this time is different. When we first look at the picture we barely noticed that the actor was there too. His dog is cuteness overload.

The Rock

When you look at The Rock and see how fit and strong he is, you would be forgiven if you are inclined to think that he would own a Dobberman or a Rottweiler or that he is the owner of another dog breed that somehow resembles him in stature. We jumped to conclusions too soon and were wrong because it turns out that the actor and wrestler is the father of a Frenchie.

The French bulldog is a medium-sized dog breed that, despite his name, comes from England. They are known for their short muzzles and for being loud snorers, just like their cousins, the English Bulldog. They are loving dogs, and now we understand why The Rock chose to share his life with one.

Tom Hardy

It turns out that actor and producer, Tom Hardy, is also the proud owner of a French bulldog pup. If you ask us, it is impossible not to fall in love with this breed. Frenchies are such amazing dogs.

Hardy was also the human father of a rescue dog named Woody (short for Woodstock). Woody was rescued in 2011 and unfortunately passed 8 years later. The sorrow of Woody’s passing was obvious in the long tribute the actor posted on his Instagram page.

Billie Eilish

The singer and songwriter is the proud and loving owner of two pups, Pepper- which is more like a family dog, and Shark. Shark is a rescue Pitbull pup, and he is more her dog than a family dog, with the two being inseparable.

Last year, in December, her Shark, who she says can be a bit naughty at times, managed to swallow a pretty big chewy toy. He ended up needing to have emergency surgery to take it out. Lucky for Shark, everything went well, and he has recovered pretty well after his operation.

Chris Evans

Not only is actor Chris Evans a total hottie, but it turns out he is also a big dog person. If this has not convinced you that Evans is the best, there is this: he adopted his Boxer mix dog.

And he considers his relationship with his beloved Dodgers “the purest relationship of them all.” And if you still have doubts when it comes to his guy, he loves his doggo so much he has gotten a tattoo in his honor.

Ryan Reynolds

Just by looking at the picture below, you can tell how much Ryan Reynolds loves his dog, Baxter. We see so much love and so much pride in this picture, but despite that, the poor pup looks like he is tired of his human staring at him.

When asked about Baxter’s breed, the actor, who is definitely a very good dog dad, did not know what answer to give. He told PEOPLE magazine that his dog is “ half golden retriever, half collie, half of some other little chunk of something in there.”

Liam Hemsworth

The Australian actor is the dad of no more than 15 dogs. Amongst the 15 fur babies, there is a Goldendoodle, a Beagle, a Pitbull, a Border Collie, and many others. It must be nice having so many balls of fur to get wet smooches from.

In 2019, after he divorced his wife, songstress Miley Cyrus, the two went to court again to reach a settlement when it came to the 15 dogs they got together. The actor decided to leave all the dogs with Cyrus but asked for visitation rights.

Carrie Fisher

The beautiful Star Wars actress, who unfortunately passed in December 2016, was a huge French bulldog lover. ( Aren’t we all? ) So obviously, she had to have one. Meet Garry, one of the most spoiled Frenchies that has ever existed.

After the sudden passing of his owner, Garry, who was always with his human wherever she would go, went to live with Carrie’s assistant in Miami. According to Carrie’s sister, Garry still whines and cries for her, which is the saddest thing we have ever heard.

Orlando Bloom

The very talented and handsome actor is most obviously, a huge fan of Poodles. There is surely no other person in Hollywood that loves these little balls of fluff more than Bloom. And if you don’t believe us, take a look at the picture below.

The actor is the proud father of 5 Poodles. Initially, his Poodle Pack was made up of 6 dogs, but unfortunately, one of them, Mighty, went missing last year, and after 7 days of desperate searching, he was found lifeless in the woods. What a nightmare!

Selma Hayek

The Mexican goddess is a huge dog lover, being the mother of several pups. She is also known for being in love with the Malinois, a Belgian Shepherd breed known for their loyalty to their families, whom they consider part of their pack.

A couple of years ago, the actress posted on her personal account a picture of her 9 years old Malinois, named Mozart, telling her fans that her pup had been shot by her neighbor. It turns out the neighbor was just trying to protect his own dogs from Mozart, so the court determined that her neighbor’s action was justified.

Jeff Goldblum

The Jurassic Park actor has been a Poodle lover ever since he was a kid. Actually, he grew up with a Poodle named Ginger, who unfortunately he lost when she was blamed for attacking a child on a bicycle.

Even though his parents told him that Ginger went to live on a farm, he found out the real story when he grew up. He loved his Poodle so much that he got himself another standard Poodle, Woody, that is the same color and looks exactly like his dear Ginger.

Chrissy Teigen

Many know her as the queen of Twitter clap-back; some know her as Mrs. John Legend, but not many know her as the incredible bulldog mom that she is. Yes, you heard that right! Teigen is a huge lover of bulldogs.

She had both an English (Puddy) and a French bulldog ( Pablo). Unfortunately, Puddy passed, and to fill the emptiness his passing left to her and her family, she decided to rescue a Poodle mix pup whom she called Petey.

Ian Somerhalder

Or as many know him, Damon Salvatore from the TV series Vampire Diaries has a total of 9 pets, including 6 dogs. He’s not only hot, but he is also obsessed with animals, and after finding this out about him, we have another reason to love him even more.

Together with his wife, Nikki Reed, the actor has opened a foundation that has as their main plan to help out the youth and rescue animals. Through the program, the two have already managed to help save over 2500 animals.

Channing Tatum

It turns out Tatum is a dog lover too. Unfortunately, not long ago, he lost his dog to cancer. And the grieving process was not that easy on him, but it helped the actor come up with an awesome idea.

He decided to make a movie about his belated dog, Lulu. The production has started, and the movie called Dog is set for release sometime in 2022. While on the set, Tatum decided to adopt one of his canine co-stars, a Dutch Shepherd named Rook.

Margot Robbie

The Suicide Squad hottie was gifted a very unusual gift by Jared Leto, her co-worker: a rat. She really loved her gift, and she named the little guy Rat Rat. It’s fair to say that Rat Rat was probably one of the most spoiled rats out there.

But her landlord was not happy with her having a rat, so the actress had to give him up. A year later, she and her then-fiancé adopted Boo, a poodle mix, and two years later, they adopted another dog, a pit bull mix.

Miley Cyrus

The eccentric songstress and actress Miley Cyrus is known for being a big animal lover, having 15 dogs, one fish, two pigs, three cats, and two horses. Now that’s literally a zoo, and we would love to be able to have this many animals.

After the death of two of her beloved dogs, Floyd and Lila, the songstress decided to give up four of her dogs, whom she gave to some of her closest friends. That must have been a terribly hard decision for her to make.

Jennifer Aniston

The 52 years old actress is the proud mother of 3 dogs: Clyde, a Schnauzer mix, Sophie, a German Shepherd-mix; and Lord Chesterfield, a Great Pyrenees pup. All three of her dogs are rescue pups, and this made Anniston love them even more.

The actress loves her dogs so much that they are always together with her. Sometimes she even takes them to work, on set with her, where they just become the set’s main attractions. It must be nice being able to bring your dog to work without getting in trouble.

Kristen Bell

The actress is currently a dog mom of two pups, Frank and Whiskey. Whiskey is a Poodle mixed breed pup who Bell has adopted. The little guy had been in a car accident and lost one of his back legs. Poor pup!

When she introduced the new addition to her fans online, she wrote that everybody in the family, from her dog Frank to her kids and even her husband, who did not agree with getting another dog, have fallen in love with the new addition. Can you blame them, though? He is adorbs!

Lady Gaga

The songstress is obsessed with French bulldogs, and she has three Frenchies of her own named Koji, Gustav, and Asia. The three are obviously really spoiled by their human mother, who earlier this year was ready to give half a million dollars reward for anybody that brings them back after they were dognapped.

The dogs were on their walk with their dog walker when he was attacked and shot by some people, who then stole two out of the three Frenchies. After desperate messages and the huge reward that Gaga offered, a person whose identity is not known brought the pups back safely after she had found them tied to a pole.

Lewis Hamilton

The Formula One British driver is in love with English bulldogs, and more than this, he is in love with his bulldog pups, named Roscoe and Coco. He loves his dogs so much that they can sometimes be seen watching their human dad race.

Recently his dog, Coco, passed away most likely from a heart attack. Because of this, he decided to make Roscoe go on a plant-based diet and according to him, his dog has started to feel better, be more active and his breathing improved.

Jamie Foxx

Jamie Foxx is an advocate and a huge lover of Pitbulls, so his best friends are obviously two dog “bullies” called King and Kong. Despite their very fierce appearance and the aggressive stigma surrounding the breed, the two are very docile and well-trained dogs.

When a former president, who will remain nameless, decided to get a dog for his family, Jamie Fox offered to find him a well-behaved Pitbull dog from the rescue centers. Now that is exactly what we call an advocate with a strong voice.
