Dogs are cute, everyone knows that — including celebrities. And when a celeb is also an animal lover, there’s something about that trait that makes them that much more relatable. These stars prove that they’ve gone over the line of puppy love and into obsession territory. Really, though, who can blame them?

Kylie Jenner
It seems the beauty mogul and reality star just can't get enough of Italian Greyhounds and other Daschund mixes. Over the years, Jenner has posted countless pics with her nine pups, including the newest member to her family (and, no, we're not talking about baby No. 2). Kevin, yet another Italian Greyhound, joined the Jenner fam in early 2021.

Tom Hardy
The Mad Max star loves dogs. He's made that clear over the years, most notably with the charming oral history of his love for dogs that he did with Vanity Fair in 2015 — and not to mention all the red carpet appearances his French bulldog has made over the years. We love to see it!

Ariana Grande
Much like Kylie Jenner, the "Thank U, Next" singer currently has nine pooches; Coco, Toulouse, Cinnamon, Strauss, Lafayette, Pignoli, Myron, Snape and Lily. (Adorable bonus: she also has a micro pig named Piggy Smallz.) The star is often snapped out walking her dogs, or even occasionally bringing them to a promotional event.

Gabrielle Union
Union's white Yorkshire Terrier, Bobby Hurley, totally defied the odds and conquered doggie cancer so if she wants to take him everywhere she goes, it's totally understandable. She also has a white Pit Bull named Pink.

Lisa Vanderpump
Giggy, full name Gigolo Vanderpump-Todd, was as pampered as they got, what with his designer duds and social media accounts; not to mention he'd signed with the prestigious Creative Artists Agency. Sadly, Giggy died in 2020, and Vanderpump released a statement crediting her furry companion as the inspiration behind her Vanderpump Dog Foundation and her new series, Vanderpump Dogs.

Tom Holland
The Spider-Man star can't get enough of his Staffordshire Bull Terrier, Tessa, and the feeling is clearly mutual.

Jake Gyllenhaal
Gyllenhaal and his rescue, Atticus Finch (named after one of To Kill a Mockingbird's central characters), make for the perfect scruffy duo. Check out these other celebs who look just like their pets. (That's a compliment, Jake.)

Amy Schumer
Schumer and Chris Fischer's adorable son, Gene, wasn't going to stop them from going for a leisurely stroll with dog Tati. Not if Tati had something to bark about it.

Joe Jonas
Not sure if this is Porky or Waldo, since the brother pups are basically twins, but the cuteness of this little guy is enough to distract us from Joe's 'stache.

Justin Theroux
Theroux clearly can't get enough of his rescue dog, Kuma. Here, they're photographed sharing a piece of spaghetti à la the classic scene from Disney's Lady and the Tramp. The actor even recently created an Instagram account for his best bud.

Not sure who looks less happy to see the paparazzo taking their pic — Cohen or Wacha. That canine sideeye is real.

Kate, Duchess of Cambridge
Lupo was bred from Ella, a dog owned by Kate's parents, Michael and Carole Middleton, eight months after she married Prince William in 2011. The dog's biggest claim to fame was being featured in one of the first official photos of her first child, Prince George, though some would argue the pup stole the show. Sadly, Lupo passed away in 2020, but the family adopted another pooch a few months later.

Bradley Cooper
Bradley Cooper loves his pup Charlie so much, he cast him in his directorial debut, A Star Is Born. The casting was also special because Charlie is named after B-Coop's late father, who died in 2011. The actor told People, "That meant a lot for him to be in the film." We're not crying, you're crying.
