Dennis Quaid and dogs: a delightful combination
Dennis Quaid, star of The Rookie and A Dog's Purpose and hot dad of The Parent Trap, likes dogs. This we can tell.
In fact, a 2003 Architectural Digest feature on Dennis Quaid's Montana ranch is so good not because of the ranch (although the ranch is beautiful), but because it features images of Dennis Quaid with dogs.
There's Dennis Quaid holding a fishing rod, an attentive chocolate lab by his side; there's even Dennis Quaid posing gleefully between two dogs and a horse. (Upon the horse? Another dog.)
It is all just so good.
And the photo wires don't disappoint, either. For example, here is Dennis Quaid in 2005, holding a pug named Lily. Lily is sticking out her tongue, and Dennis Quaid is sticking out his tongue, too.
Here is Dennis Quaid holding Lily again, but this time it's a serious photo.
Next on the docket, we have Dennis Quaid in 2009. In this image, Dennis Quaid is about to board a plane to Houston, and he is holding his dog.
The dog looks extremely tranquil -- fundamentally at peace -- and we surmise it's because Dennis Quaid has carried it throughout the airport, sacrificing his own physical comfort in the process. Look at each of their faces: Dennis Quaid's says "I hate it here," but the dog's says, "I am doing just fine."
:')
Dennis Quaid has also appeared alongside dogs in several movies. Here he is in the truly weird movie American Dreamz, which satirizes American Idol and in which Dennis Quaid plays the president of the United States.
Here's Dennis Quaid and a good sleeping dog in Yours, Mine, and Ours (2005). There's also a nice fluffy cat, but that's not what this post is about.
And let's not forget Dennis Quaid and the dog in The Parent Trap (named Sammy in the film). The dog was instrumental in bringing Dennis Quaid and his true love (Natasha Richardson) together again. Hallie and Annie were mere pawns compared to Sammy. Remember the elevator scene? Sammy did it all!!!!
And then, of course, there is Dennis Quaid in A Dog's Purpose. Please, do not let the thankfully false allegations against the film ruin your opinion of Dennis Quaid and dogs, nor the sanctity of this image.
We leave you with this bonus image of Dennis Quaid eating a tiny lollipop at the airport. There are no dogs in it, but if you wanted to Photoshop one in there, it would probably look so nice.
May Dennis Quaid and dogs continue to bless you this week!
