April 11th marks National Pet Day and we are celebrating by digging up some photos of celebrities with their pets. Perhaps the most candid look you’ll get from a Hollywood star is when they’re caught alone with their pet. The bond between them is even more magical than with their many love partners; but then, they aren’t any different from the rest of us. Here are some of our faves!
