Renee Zellweger with her Dog, Dylan

We love it when our readers are just as curious about celebrities and their dogs as we are and CDW reader, Marie was dying to know about Renee Zellweger and any dog she might have. We found the following info for you Marie and we hope you love it as much as we do, it’s our first post about Renee but we’re sure not our last!

Dylan won her master’s heart when Zellweger was still a college freshman in Texas looking to get a pet cat. At the Austin Animal Shelter, Dylan emerged from a pack of frolicking kitties and puppies and rested her muzzle on Zellweger’s foot.

“I looked down at her and of course she was the most gorgeous creature of all time and I said ‘No dogs. Too much responsibility and too much time.’ Then she followed me and sat on my foot again,” Zellweger remembers.

“She is truly the greatest gift in my life. She knows when you are sick, and when you are sad, and she knows when you are busy being upset about things and she needs to give you your space.”

She even chose her own name: for a few weeks when she was still a puppy, her favorite sleeping spot was on a Rolling Stone magazine cover of Bob Dylan. Now that’s a clever way to pick a name 🙂
