A Celebrity's Best Accessory...er, Friend

Jake with Atticus

Whatever they are wearing, the accessory of the choice for the rich and famous in the last few years has undoubtedly been of the furry persuasion.

Sure, celebrity's are just like you and me, and of course they have pets. For example, did you know that Jim Carey had a Great Dane named George? Yeah, me neither. Some celebs, like Jake Gyllenhaal, just happen to get pictured with their pets because they really love and take care of them, and others remain an unseen mystery.

Sadly, it seems as though the "accessory pet" trend is still going strong. Stars like Mischa Barton and Ashlee Simpson get a ton of undue press just by carrying their newest pet around everywhere they go. I would say this was great, if Mischa and Ash didn't already have dogs at home that they used to lovingly tote everywhere.

What do you think? Are these stars just making like the Europeans and bringing their pets everywhere because they love them...or because they just needed something new and cute to satisfy them for a while?

For those of you who want to pack up your pooch like the stars, may we suggest:
