ANIMAL Fair magazine is pleased to announce The Top 10 most eligible pets of 2006. From Jennifer Aniston's dog, Norman, who has had Hollywood's Most eligible men - Brad Pitt and now Vince Vaughn - as dogwalkers, to a rescue dog that inspired Brother Rick Curry, S.J., to create healthy dog biscuits to benefit the National Theatre Workshop of the Handicapped. Take a peek inside the lives and loves of these charming and amazing animals who lead extraordinary lives with their humans.
1. Norman Aniston - parent, Jennifer Aniston, actress (Friends, The Break Up). It's no wonder that Jennifer's doggie would land the number one spot on this list. Norman is the one guy who is truly Jennifer's best friend. This corgi terrier mix knows he's the protective partner of America’s sweetheart, so you’d better be good to his Jennifer! Aside from his "dogged" loyalty, Norman shares his owner's dazzling blue eyes and the winning personality that won this darling a prime spot as our Most Eligible Pet.

| Taking second place is Duchess - no jealousy here, she knows she rules the mansion. |
2. Dutchess Heffner - parents, Hugh Heffner and his beautiful number one girlfriend Holly. Founder and editor-in-chief of Playboy magazine. Holly and Hugh Heffner’s chihuahua, Dutchess, might be surrounded by bunnies and tons of other animals, but among the Playboy Mansion’s beauties, she’ll always be top dog.
3. Joy Alexander - parent, Leslie Alexander, owner of the Houston Rockets NBA team. This sports-loving pooch 'rocketed' into Animal Fair’s spotlight when she collaborated with her partner, Houston Rockets owner and prime pooch-lover, Leslie Alexander, on a doggy daycare DVD. Remember, 100% of the proceeds from this joint venture go to animal charities, so pick one up for your pup today.
4. Yoda and Gigi Dynnis - parent, Jake Dynnis, doggie fashion designer. This year’s best-dressed duo struts down the runway on eight legs. Watch out, Mary-Kate and Ashley, Yoda and Gigi Dynnis’ fashionista mama, Jackrocketwear designer Jake Dynnis, knows just how to flatter her pooches’ bods, and her Swarovski crystal and Cashmere creations are just to bark for.
5. Sid and Nancy Alba - parent, Jessica Alba, actress (Fantasic Four, Into the Blue). Sid and Nancy Alba captured our hearts with their pugnacious pertness and floppy-eared devotion to their mistress, the beautiful Jessica Alba.
6. Bianca Ostrosky-Stern - parent, Howard Stern and Beth Ostrosky, Radio Shock Jock and his model/actress girlfriend. Don’t let this bubbly bulldog’s hyphenated last name scare you, gentlemen: Howard Stern and Beth Ostrosky’s precious pup is still looking for that special dog to share walks on the beach, a chew-toy or two where the only sound is playful barking.
7. Betty and Scoshi O’Hurley - parent, John O’Hurley, actor (Dancing with the Stars). Looking for a couple of dancing partners? This delicious duo, pampered by owner John O’Hurley are ready to take the two-step a bit further.
8. Hepburn - owner, Brother Rick Curry, S.J., founder and artistic director of the National Theatre Workshop of the Handicapped. Like Cher, Ringo, and Prince, Hepburn prefers to be known by her first name only. Under the direction of Brother Rick Curry, S.J., this benevolent Benji gives most of her time to the National Theatre Workshop of the Handicapped. Beautiful, talented, and gracious, this Old English Sheepdog is a herder with a heart of gold! Hepburn even has biscuits named after her, benefitting the handicapped.
9. Lulu Gold Williams - parents, Mitchell Gold and Bob Williams, co-founders of Mitchell Gold and Bob Williams, furniture company. Straighten your collars and brush your fur, gentleman; this bodacious bulldog is the apple of her fathers' eyes.
10. McGruff - the crime fighting dog. Ladies, if your doggy hearts melt for dogs in uniform, then this crime fighting stud is the guy for you.
Animal Fair Magazine's very own Wendy and Lucky Diamond had a marvellous time on the Tony Danza Show and CNN on Valentine's Day Febuary 14, 2006. They reported on 'Puppy Love' and discussed all manner of subjects to behind the scenes at the Westminster Dog Show.
