Oprah

“Dogs? What dogs? These are my fur children, and they always make me feel happier and more human”, Oprah says on her own website. The star has a team of dogs – currently five – which she frequently takes on walks and posts photos of to Instagram. Oprah’s dogs are called Sadie, Sunny, Layla, Luke and Lauren.

Barack Obama

Obama famously brought his two dogs, Bo and Sunny, to the White House during his eight years in office. Bo was known as the First Dog of the United States and was often spotted with the former President strolling the White House grounds. Both Bo and Sunny are Portuguese Water Dogs, a unique breed dictated by Obama’s daughter Malia’s need for a hypoallergenic breed.
