While most often spotted with their celebrity parents, I can recognize and name these pups without their owners present! Even though it was super hard to narrow this down to just nine top dogs, I think I've done it. Now it's up to you to crown one the celebrity pet of the year!

While Chanel was crowned the "World's Oldest Dog" by the Guinness Book of World Records just months before her death, news has come of another elderly pooch that could be the new (rightful) titleholder. This is Penny photographed on Sept. 4 in Ronsberg, Germany — according to her owner, Verena Wulf, she's 25! While it's trickier to verify age with unregistered, non-purebred pups for lack of records, I'm curious to know how her story plays out — do you think this pooch will soon get a cake and a press conference, too, or are you still satisfied with Chanel? Weigh in below!
But, even at her old age, Penny still likes to play fetch and catch — check her out playing with meat hunks when you read more
Peek-a-boo, I see you! Blake Lively arrived on the NYC set of Gossip Girl yesterday with a furry friend in tow. Pretty Penny gets spoiled with sweet treats like cozy Winter accessories, and now she's being carried around in her fluffy donut bed. What a life!
I'm a fan of the basic donut bed, not only because it's durable and washable, but you can make it even better with a few personal touches. Just like a great wardrobe, start with the basics and jazz it up! Make it green by adding eco stuffing (once the stock stuffing goes limp and lumpy), and infuse your own style with cool custom covers. Besides, Blake knows a thing or two about fashion, so she's probably got a whole dresser full of fun accessories for Penny!
While most often spotted with their celebrity parents, I can recognize and name these eight pups without their owners present! Even though it was super hard to narrow this down to just eight top dogs, I think I've done it. Pick from my choices listed as pictured below from left to right.

Penny sure knows how to stare down the paps as this pup proudly poses on the set of Gossip Girl in Central Park yesterday. While I'm happy to see his pooch standing pretty (and glad she's not too overdressed now that it's Summer), I'm a bit confused by that collar. Is it just me or is this pooch wearing a bell?
Now many of you choose collars that jingle jangle for cats, but for pups as well . . . wow. There's always the risk this teensy pup will get tangled up underfoot so perhaps the bell just announces her arrival – I see you, Penny!
Because I can't just leave you with one piccy of this pup, check our more pictures of Penny (with Blake and Penn) when you read more
I love to see celebs getting snuggly with their pooches, so how delighted was I to catch this glimpse of Susan Sarandon and her lil Maltese?! Even so, I'm less pleased to witness the furry-pal-inside-purse phenom later that night.
Granted, the two were attending Longchamp's 60th Anniversary celebration in NYC, so the Legende Satchel was a must-have, but where's a proper tote for her precious pet, Penny? Next time, hopefully she'll carry that metallic trend with an appropriate luxe, gold (dog) bag like these below.
Snuggled up under that down jacket, it's hard to tell what lil Penny's wearing! Working with limited visibility, I'm coming to my own conclusions about the sweater – after all, I can see gray-colored stripes. Get a similar effect with the Juicy Couture Dog Sweater Gift Set now 50 percent off at $41.90 (orig $85). The catch is, it's only left in XS. The neat (or scary) part about this Doggy Couture set is that it also includes four matchy-matchy legwarmers and a scarf. I really can't wait 'til Gossip Girl returns – I mean Penny makes cameos behind the scenes so much, would it really hurt to give her a bit part? Clearly Blake doesn't discriminate against other dogs, see her meet a new pooch on the set when you read more
