It’s International Dog Day. I know this is far, far from comprehensive, but here’s a gallery I’ve slapped together of famous musicians and their best friends. Perhaps I’ll add some more throughout the day. The subjects of the photos are identified when you click through the gallery.

Pets Music and Facebook
Has anyone ever set up a Facebook account and not posted a picture of their pets within a week? Personally, I think I’ve exercised remarkable restraint.
I don’t know about you, but my animals are great music lovers. My dog, Corgi, a foxy lass of indeterminate breed, was a great opera lover. She used to fall asleep with her head against the speaker while listening to the Metropolitan Opera.
The imperious Hannah (a.k.a. Ki-TEH) also enjoys vocal music, though for a while she and I were working our way through all the Haydn symphonies.
She definitely prefers music to silence during the long hours I spend writing on the computer, preferably typing with one hand while rubbing her belly with the other. Until she’s had enough, that is. She can be a harsh mistress.
I don’t know Lena S. Lee, but this is a sweet tribute. Here she is with Samuel Barber’s “The Monk and His Cat.”
