Fido facts...

Perhaps it's their thick fluffy fur or Chinese heritage that endears chow chows to Martha Stewart, she of well-documented passions for high maintenance and Asian cultures. Most likely, the dogs, which have appeared in their master's magazines and television shows, simply provided unwavering companionship during trying times for the media mogul.

When Stewart was released in 2005 after serving prison time, she was excited to reunite with her dogs. "He missed me a lot," she told reporters about Paw Paw.
