"He's up for anything," Evans told People in 2017. "Dogs, they're such great animals. I really can't say enough about dogs. I'm a dog lunatic. He sleeps on my pillow. You wake up face-to-face."

4. New York Knicks coach David Fizdale got all of his pups in line for a group huddle.

5. Fox correspondent Tracee Carrasco spent the morning with her pup outside the opera house in New York.

"The world would be a worse place without dogs," he wrote. Facts.

8. "My dogs are there to teach me to take a break," Nicholas Sparks wrote. "They're there to remind me that there's more to life than work."
