August 26 is National Dog Day. Today, we are showing black celebrities who love their four-legged family members as much as we do.
It’s estimated that there are more than 900 million dogs around the globe, according to the Pet Pedia website. This makes total sense as dogs certainly make for great companions–and are necessary. Research has shown that dogs can aid in improving the quality of life.
According to The Humane Society of the United States, “63.4 million American households own at least one dog.”
Let’s take a look at some famous black celebrity dog lovers who are absolutely obsessed with their furry loved ones.
