Breed: Golden retriever

Fido facts...

When she was a 19-year-old high-school student, Renée Zellweger adopted Dylan, nicknamed Woofer. The golden retriever shared the actress' professional journey; traveling to England for the Bridget Jones' Diary shoot and listening to Zellweger practice her Chicago singing. Dylan's death in 2003 was devastating. "When she died, home didn't exist anymore," Zellweger told the British magazine Empire. Her passing "made me realise not to waste time on things like that [jobs she didn't enjoy]."
