Behind every great man is a great dog.

Perhaps you think that only cats, because of their natural mystery and elegance, can be the pets of creative people. But there is nothing sweeter than a wet nose and an infinitely good heart of a dog. We share the affectionate affection of famous artists, actors, musicians and writers for these incredibly dedicated creatures.
