Famous Dogs, Both Real and Cartoon

Dogs are a man’s best friend. It’s been that way for as long as anyone can remember, so it’s not a surprise that there are some famous pooches out there. For fun, let’s take a look at some of the most well-recognized dogs out there, both real and ones we wish were real. Celeb Dogs Hugh Jackman caused a bit of a stir when he was photographed parading his French bulldog, Dali, around. How cute is this?

Don’t worry, you’re in luck: as if he weren’t attractive enough, this Vampire Diaries actor posed for some pictures with celebrity-in-his-own-right Uggie, who starred in the Oscar-winning film The Artist.

He noted that his pooch, who sports a silly, Mohawk-esque haircut, acts unruly when he doesn’t have that particular coif. The Notebook star tried to grow it out, and the dog misbehaved so much that R. Gos was forced to shave the style back in.
