Billy Sullivan is a painter who is obsessed with his and other people's dogs. I met Billy last summer with his husband Klaus at Malcolm Morley's house for dinner. We didn't talk dogs but we will from now on.

KYOKO HAMADA HAS THE BEST WAY OF LOOKING AT ANIMALS

Gizmo is seen in the last picture and when Kyoko took his picture he knew exactly where to be. As she says about animals, "I think I have a healthy relationship with animals in general. When I grew up in Japan, we had tadpoles, crayfish, koi fish, a pet hamster with one arm, pet squirrels (different than American squirrels), turtles, cats and a dog. My view of animals changed slightly though when I saw wild lions in South Africa up close. I knew instinctively this big orange cat can take me down with one swipe. It gave me much more respect for the wilderness."

Cindy Sherman does not have a dog

But she does have a 24 year old parrot called mister Frieda. I was beyond flattered when she sent me pictures of her parrot after I mentioned my dog website; not to mention that Cindy is one of my most favorite photographers out there right now. Girl crush.

TIMOTHY GREENFIELD-SANDERS LOVES DOGS

I have always been a fan of Timothy's work and his portraits. How delighted was I when I learned that he had shot portraits of artists' dogs? It was all too good to be true.

Laurie Simmons' daughter has a dog named Lamby.

This is a funny story... Laurie was shooting her show that was up last month at Salon 94 when Lamby jumped up on the model's lap and Laurie snapped this shot. The end.

Big story right? Well, I went to the gallery I met another gorgeous dog whose name is Ludvig von Truffle and he showed me around....

Not to mention that Laurie can join the girl crush club too. Love her.

MARIA ROBLEDO HAS A RABBIT NOT A DOG AND A BEAUTIFUL RABBIT AT THAT

Cornillius came to Maria and family when they discovered her daughter, Sofia, was allergic to other pets. He is a New Zealand rabbit bought in Canada and will live a long gorgeous life as Maria's muse. She started photographing him 4 years ago on her iPhone to get her acclimated to digital and thus, the Maria Robledo feed of Cornillius began.

JEAN-PHILIPPE DELHOMME TAKES TIME OFF FROM HIS ART TO PLAY WITH HIS DOG ASTOR

This guy knows how to illustrate. I mean, I LOVE Jean-Philippe Delhomme's drawings and when I saw on his Instagram feed that he had a dog, I flipped.

SEBASTIAN KIM HAS A DOG NAMED MORENO WHO LIKES TO GO ON SHOOTS WITH HIM

This is Uggie. And this is Moreno with Sebastian on a shoot. Sebastian took Uggie's portrait during his performance in THE ARTIST. Sebastian says of Mrs. Sizzle's site, " Moreno will be so psyched to be on there. All I can say is that when Moreno comes to studio shoots, he gets more attention than the models. But he's also great help on set, he makes sure everyone is focused on creating great pics!" Thanks Sebastian!

WILL ADLER SURFS AND TAKES PICTURES OF DOGS

Will shows at Danziger Gallery. As Will puts it, "I have a great relation with dogs. While I don't have one at the moment I always enjoy being around them. They tend to make their way into my work very often. I feel like their personalities come out easily when they are being photographed."

PAMELA HANSON WORSHIPS HER DOGS DANNY AND MOLLY

Not only has Pamela been a fun friend but she is also a mad good photographer. And not only a photographer but a dog lover too which makes for a delicious doggie combo! Seen here are some summer fun dog pictures of the creatures she is in love with. Best part of this post is seeing her nanny, Lynny, with Tabu, the poodle, Ambra, the great pyrenees, and Jimmy Hendrix, the cat. In addition to dogs, she also loved horses but her parents drew the line at canines.

William Wegman does know how to make a bed

Or at least he did make it while I was there at the studio that day. So, I was nervous before the visit, that I might be the only dog owner in the world to have dogs, well not really, that like to jump up on people. It was just not so. Wegman's dogs do the same thing and his dogs are bigger than my dogs. This is what he says about two of them, "Topper is the biggest trouble maker. He sometimes bites Flo's back leg when Flo is introducing herself to visitors. He barks a lot. But he's a great dog." I loved being able to go meet the dogs.
