Most celebrities are used to being adored. Fans fork out millions to see their latest blockbusters, and admirers request selfies and autographs when passing them by on the street. Not to mention the vast amount of fan mail they receive or the number of likes on their latest Instagram post! But in spite of all the adoration thrown their way, there is a certain unconditional love that trumps all. It is a love that comes with four paws, or a tail, feathers, a shiny coat, or a twitchy nose. The type of love that greets one with enthusiasm when arriving home, or snuggles up when they sense sadness.
The love that doesn’t care whether your last movie bombed or if the critics slammed that series, and the kind of love that most definitely could not be bothered whether you missed out on that Oscar nomination. 19th century comedian, Josh Billings, wrote that a pet is the only thing on earth that loves you more than you love yourself. The famous folk on this list may have a massive number of devotees, but if asked, they would probably tell you that their biggest fans are their furry friends!
