Stars around the world are well known for loving their pets and they do tend to appear in all kinds of photo shoots with them or magazine stories showing their home life. It can often get to the point where the pet themselves will start to get famous so what follows are some of the most famous celebrity pets on the planet.
1. BO – The Obama family dog
If you are the pet of the most powerful man in the world, then it stands to reason that you are now a celebrity pet and since BO belongs to the Obama family, then he is a famous dog. BO is a Portuguese water dog and you will often see him being walked by all members of the family around the White House.
2. Bubbles
Bubbles is well known as having been the chimp companion of Michael Jackson and there are numerous photographs of the two of them together for a number of years. He now lives in a sanctuary in Florida where he is cared for and treated like an absolute superstar.
3. Minnie
If you have ever seen The Osbournes or even just seen photographs of Sharon, then you may have noticed her holding a dog. That dog is Minnie and she is a rather lovely looking Pomeranian, if you watched the Osbournes reality show you will know she has a rather naughty streak as well. Minnie was once a star! May she rest in peace.
4. Tinkerbell
Tinkerbell is the Chihuahua that belongs to Paris Hilton and if you are looking for a famous socialite, then there is nobody more famous than her. It is perhaps fair to say that there may be no other dog as pampered as Tinkerbell in the world, but the chances are you will have only seen her being carried in her arms and never really walking anywhere.
5. The Queen and her Corgis
However, perhaps the breed that is most synonymous with a single person is the Corgi as they have been the breed of choice for the Queen for decades. They have been photographed accompanying her everywhere and indeed they even played a starring role in her star performance in the opening ceremony of the Olympic Games in London. The Queen herself is a respected breeder of the Corgi and they certainly deserve to appear in this list.
So those are perhaps the five most famous celebrity pets on the planet, but clearly there are a whole host of others that are just as famous, but failed to make the list. Celebrities love pets as much as the rest of us do so this list can certainly be continued and updated every year or every month depending upon who is famous at that particular time
