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!
And don't stop voting there — check the rest of my best of 2009 polls!

You don't need to see this handsome fella's mama to recognize him, right? The ever-stylish Thurman Murman has yet another pretty leash as he leads Rachel around the streets of LA.
If your doggies at home look up to Thurman for fashion inspiration, pick up a Super Duper Stripe Dog Lead, which comes in two sizes (5/8 inches and one inch wide) for 39 bucks. If you're not loving his Sky Blue version, there are other pretty palettes.
Meanwhile, back in LA, R-Bils seemed to have a wardrobe malfunction of the shoe variety. Check out her walking her cute pooch . . . but carrying her shoes in the end. Barefoot on the sidewalk, better than barefoot in the park, right?
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.
Make sure you've voted on all my Best of 2008 polls 'cause I'm revealing the results soon!

Why should the duty of picking up doody be boring? We seem to agree that Rachel Bilson is a great dog mom, so of course she never leaves home without Thurman Murman's essentials. In addition to that fab Ella Dish leash, I'm guessing these purple poop bags are the lavender scented biodegradable ones. I stock pink ones for my pampered pooch – what color or kind do you use for your doggies?
OK, I just can't take anymore – this is definitely the luckiest dog in all of Hollywood! I mean first off, they don't come cuter than this scruffball, and with such a great mom, R-Bils, who could ask for more? Seems Thurman Murman isn't wanting for much as he's got yet another new leash for his latest LA adventure, and I'm loving this Ella Dish number in a fab tapestry pattern. Pick one up for your lucky dog, too – it actually comes in two color choices and two lead lengths to choose from ($36), with an optional matching collar if your pup's into that sort of thing.
That's right. Our fave pet mom pampers Thurman Murman with yet another pretty leash! From the Western-inspired Cheyenne collection, her pup gets a Bluegrass lead ($39) that really pops. The needlepoint design also comes in matching collars and harnesses, but I can't tell if he sports one of those 'cause he's such a shaggy dog.
This pup must be one of the luckiest in Hollywood with a mom who models good behavior in cleaning up after her lil guy, taking him for pampering treatments, and rotating more leashes than I can count for their QT walkies together – I'm gonna let her casually chic outfit be a lesson to me . . . just 'cause I'm walking the dog, doesn't mean I should sacrifice on style!
Only fitting so close to Mother's Day that we feature our fave celebrity (dog) mommy. R-Bils brought her very special pooch to a very special shop in LA yesterday, K9 Loft. Looks like her lil pup got groomed up nicely and even sports a new bandana on his scruffly neck. Learn about this facility (and see adoro piccys) when you read more
Our favorite celebrity parent shares a private moment with her little one, Thurman Murman. It's not even time for too cute for words yet, but this cozy snapshot made me wonder what secrets is R-Bils confiding in Thurman. Could she be telling him that he is the snuggliest pooch in the entire world or confessing that he is the perfect stand-in for her maybe boyfriend, Hayden? I just can't decide – so I wanna hear your secret suggestions in the comments below!
Next up in the Best of 2007 coverage, we took tally of our fave pet parent around. These celebrities are often shown demonstrating responsible pet care and known for being animal lovers, too! Of the choices provided, the winner of the PetSugar readers' choice for mom of the year is . . .
Rachel Bilson! I'll have to admit, not only is she a favorite of mine style-wise, lil' Thurman Murman is painfully cute. He's not pocket-sized, yet she often carries him – the pup must weigh at least 20 pounds so perhaps it doubles as a mini workout?! Rachel and this mop of shaggy, cuddly fun brought in 37% of the votes at posting time – congratulations R-Bils and Thurman Murman, too!
For the number of times we see Rachel Bilson toting Thurman Murman around, I'm shocked by his leash collection! First off, there's the requisite Flexi and a traditional bone-patterned one. But, her shaggy pup looks especially cute (and rather collegiate) with this multicolored leash. Mascot's canvas Old School Repp Lead ($42) comes in six contrast-stitching, color combinations for your old school pup.
