I've kept it no secret where I find it annoying when I see people flaunting dogs like they're an accessory. Some stars are the worst with this and all I do is roll my eyes.
I've also acknowledged respect towards people with what I call real dogs (shepherds, etc..) and they're not an accessory. I've posted about Eva Mendes before:

(Google +"Eva Mendes" +malinois" (bold, with + and quotes) for many more pictures)
She has a working line malinois - the sixth picture shows the affection they have for each other (note the malinois' ears in that picture - all the way back (a.k.a "seal head") is a sign of strong affection in the breed).
Well, I found another one last night. What got me is that the picture is old, even before people in this country knew what a Belgian shepherd was, let alone a malinois.
(BTW - I think that picture is great!).
My wife thinks it's a German shepherd but honestly, back in those days (until the mid 1930s in Germany - a little later in the USA) the two breeds were extremely similar in size and shape (we didn't see the modern GSD coloring come out until during WWII and the modern American angulated dog until the 1970s/ 1980s in the USA). It could be an old style malinois (at most this is a handful of generations past the "continental shepherd").
I've looked her up and there are a lot of pictures with her, here is one with her and a borzoi (one of the sight hounds, like a greyhound, whippet, Italian greyhound etc..).
There are many more pictures with her and animals (considering in those days photographs were not easy or cheap!) - she must have been a *real* dog lover.
