Their careers may have soared to stratospheric heights, but that doesn’t mean at the end of the day, celebrities don’t want to come home to life’s simple pleasures.
And what better pleasure that the unconditional loyal love and affection from a pet?
From stars whose pets have almost become as famous as them (Taylor Swift’s cat, anyone?) to unusual options (hello, Elsa Pataky’s pet pig!) and homegrown names who can’t help but plaster their love for their pets all over Instagram, there’s nothing we love more than checking out their gorgeous photos.
Scroll on to see the best photos of celebrities and their pooches, pets and other beloved animals…
