29 Celeb Dog Dads We Can’t Get Enough Of

If you consider your pets to be a part of the family, then you're certainly not alone! Many of us simply adore our feline familiars, bird buddies, fishy friends, and canine companions. Be honest: Do you often buy your pets special treats, call them by silly names, and relate to almost every animal-related meme that pops up online? Do you run an Instagram account on behalf of your pet? Trust us, we get it!

Indeed, while there's no doubt that many of us, er, regular people appreciate our pets, so do stars. There are plenty of famous figures who simply can't get enough of their adored animals. Just hop onto social media and follow a few of your favorite notable names, and along with photos of their fabulous lifestyles, enviable experiences, and buzz-worthy behavior, you might also come across super-cute pics of their pets. Frankly, there are plenty of celeb dog dads — like the ones on this list — whom we just can't get enough of!

Sir Patrick Stewart

Your favorite Shakespearian-speaking Star Trek captain is also a huge fan of pit bulls. Patrick Stewart tends to be both gentle and emotional when he talks about his own pooch and is also very active when it comes to fostering other pit bulls who will eventually find a forever (or fur-ever) home with a new family.

Ryan Reynolds

When Ryan Reynolds isn’t busy working on blockbuster movies, he’s treating us to some quality K-9 content with the help of his beautiful golden retriever. In this photo, Ryan can be seen snuggling with his furry buddy, Bax, on his birthday. So adorable!

Hugh Jackman

We can't say that we don't love the work that Hugh Jackman has done in the X-Men franchise as well as his performance in The Greatest Showman, however, what we’re really all here for are pictures of his beautiful puppies. Hugh is not ashamed to show his adoration for his dogs, Dali and Allegra, and come on, look at those little faces. Can you blame him?

John Legend

John Legend is an Emmy, Grammy, Oscar, and Tony (or EGOT)-winning musician who has sold millions of albums. However, the thing that we are buying is the relationship between the singer and his poodle. Check out John and his fur baby, Petey. Honestly, the two seem like a perfect duet!

Chris Evans

While playing the role of Captain America, Chris Evans exuded power and strength, but in real life, it just takes a pair of cute puppy eyes to bring him to his knees. Chris met his furry best friend at a dog shelter while filming in Savannah, Georgia, and fell in love right away. Since then, the star and Dodger have been almost inseparable BFFs.

John Mulaney

Comedian and former Saturday Night Live writer John Mulaney is an unapologetic dog dad. He thinks the world of his French bulldog, Petunia, and even created her an Instagram account, which has more than 160,000 followers. And yes, we should all be following her.

Liam Hemsworth

We are absolutely in love with the relationship between Liam Hemsworth and his dog, Dora. Ever since the actor tweeted about his “gigantic rescue pup,” we can’t help but want more. Oh, and let’s not forget his other little guy. It’s almost too much cuteness!

Dan Levy

If you fell in love with every single thing about Dan Levy as David Rose on Schitt’s Creek, then you might already know that there are just as many reasons to adore him offscreen. That includes the fact that he regularly shares the cutest pictures of his dog, Redmond. If you follow Dan on Instagram, then you can catch a glimpse of the star and his furry companion enjoying a fair share of sweet moments.

Zachary Quinto

Is it just us, or are there similarities between Zachary Quinto and his stunning dog River? The two share a special bond, which is obvious in this cuddly picture, but some of their darkly adorable features kind of look the same. However, when it comes to Zachary’s other dog, Skunk, it might be far-fetched to see any resemblance. Sorry, little guy!

Jonah Hill

Jonah Hill is a dog dad through and through. While on The Ellen DeGeneres Show in 2014, he told stories about his beautiful French bulldog, Carmela, and with that face how could you not want to share this pup with the world? The actor never misses an opportunity to praise his pets — yes, he has more than one — like when he proudly posted a picture of his newly adopted pit bull named Fig. Keep those photos coming!

Tommy Chong

In a sweet little video, actor Tommy Chong and his wife Shelby introduce us to their lovable dog, Captain. The two seem absolutely smitten with the dog, as you can hear in their soft cutesy-sounding voices, which should be the only way to address this fluffy little guy.

Snoop Dogg

Considering Snoop Dogg's name, it might not be too shocking to find out that he has a loyal canine companion. However, you might be pleasantly surprised to see that the 6-foot-4 rapper chooses to hang with a tiny French bulldog named Juelz. Although the package may be little, the love between the two seems larger than life.

Tom Holland

Tom Holland might be used to slinging webs and scaling buildings as Marvel Universe’s Spider-Man, but in real life, he keeps his feet on the ground by spending time with his dog, Tessa. Tom is so smitten with his pooch that he takes her to movie premieres, and when he’s away filming, he makes sure to check in on her. Now that’s a good dog dad.

Nick Jonas

If you’ve squealed while Nick Jonas performed at a sold-out concert with the Jonas Brothers, then get ready to swoon when you see him as an adorable dog dad. From nap time with Gino the German shepherd to belly rubs with Panda to creating cuddle puddles with Diana, we are here for the whole adorable show.

Neil Patrick Harris

Neil Patrick Harris has a lot of love for his family, which includes his little fur babies. Just take a look above to see when the actor brought his two dogs, Spike and Gidget, along for a People’s Sexiest Man Alive photo shoot. Beyond that, in December of 2020, the family got even bigger when they were joined by a beautiful golden retriever puppy named Ella.

Bubba Wallace

The only thing that could possibly slow down professional NASCAR racer Bubba Wallace might be his cute, fluffy dog. Talk about The Fast & The Furriest! Wallace and his pooch, Asher, have such great chemistry that they have even been featured in sponsored ads and a commercial for PetSmart.

Justin Bieber

If you've ever wondered what life would be like as a puppy living with one of pop music’s biggest stars, then just follow Justin Bieber’s adorable little dog, Poskie to get the inside scoop. Here’s a hint: It’s full of snuggles, cuddles, and naps.

Gordon Ramsay

Although celebrity chef Gordon Ramsay is best known for his foul language and angry outbursts in the kitchen — and, ya know, his cooking — when it comes to his furry friends, we're going to go ahead and assume that he’s just a big ol' softy. That seems like a pretty safe bet when you consider the sweet smile in the photo above. In fact, Gordon and his family are so fond of their pups that they actually have three different pooches, named Rumpole, Bruno, and Carlos.

Seth Rogen

Funnyman Seth Rogen had us in stitches in films like Knocked Up and The 40-Year-Old Virgin, but seeing him with his beautiful dog, Zelda, hits us on a more emotional level. Rogen is all about his dog and never misses an opportunity to post about his lovable pup. When it comes to his films, you can even spot Zelda making an appearance at the end of The Interview.

Tom Hardy

Dramatic actor Tom Hardy has a serious soft spot when it comes to dogs. In fact, the star prefers his canine companions to be constant companions. That's why he told Dogs Today (via Vanity Fair) that when he was a young acting student, “I wouldn’t go to class unless Max [his dog] was allowed in.” We wonder how often he brings his pooches to film sets.

Orlando Bloom

Orlando Bloom has popped up in some of the most popular movies to ever hit the big screen, including the Pirates of the Caribbean and Lord of the Rings franchises. However, his cutest work to date has to be this picture of himself with his five (yes, five!) dogs. Or how about when he seemingly tried to match his poodle’s style? There needs to be an award for this type of peak puppy-pal performance.

Trevor Noah

Award-winning comedian and host of The Daily Show Trevor Noah seems to be just as quick to share pictures of his dog as he is to hit you with his signature style of political humor. Frankly, his love for dogs has led him into charitable work with The Daily Show, boasting a pet line that donates proceeds to animal-focused organizations.

Seth Meyers

Seth Meyers has an adorably interesting dog with an equally unique name. The host of Late Night With Seth Meyers has an Italian greyhound who goes by the name of Frisbee. While that's pretty darn cute, we also appreciate the fact that this pup's intriguing looks are often accentuated by his incredible outfits.

Simon Cowell

Although Simon Cowell has based his reputation on being an abrupt and brutally honest judge on shows like X-Factor and America’s Got Talent, there is no doubt that he has an impressive ability to spot raw talent. But did you know he also has not one, not two or even three, but four adorable pets? The producer and host can count Daisy, Freddie, Diddly, and of course Squiddly among his sweet pups.

Jon Bernthal

Actor Jon Bernthal has played big, tough characters like anti-hero Frank Castle on The Punisher and Shane Walsh on The Walking Dead. At first glance, it looks like his dogs are just as rugged as he is, but under that thick skin is a dog lover who will melt your heart with touching photos of himself and his beloved pit bulls.

Dax Shepard

When there's a dog who looks like an Ewok but is somehow even cuter, how can you not take notice? Dax Shepard is an actor, podcast host, producer, and director as well as a proud dog dad to Barb and Frank. He not only shares a fantastic friendship with his dogs, but, on occasion, he'll also share his bed with the pups. Now those are true friendship goals.

Channing Tatum

In a touching Instagram post, actor Channing Tatum shared that he had made a movie called Dog that was inspired by the memory of his beloved pup Lulu. The film highlights the last road trip that Tatum and Lulu shared before she died from cancer. What a beautiful tribute dedicated to his dear friend.

Adam Levine

Adam Levine has thrilled audiences around the world with his band Maroon 5 and entertained home audiences via television screens as a music industry expert on The Voice, but his biggest fan is surely his goldendoodle, Bones. This pup is likely living the rock star life and possibly sparing no expense with an estimated fortune of $2.7 million, according to Celebrity Pet Worth. Holy moly! Maybe Bones will consider adopting us?

Ice-T

Ice-T might be mean muggin’ when he’s performing his brand of hardcore hip-hop, but when it comes to his many bulldogs, he’s all smiles. Ice-T and his wife, Coco, have four amazing pups named King Maximus, Princess Alexus, Titan, and Sparty Jr., and they are the cutest little family.
