Here’s How 26 Celebs Paid Tribute to Their Furry BFFs on National Dog Day

In case you haven’t heard, it’s National Dog Day (we’ve been scrolling through adorable pups via Instagram all day) — the one time of year that our furry BFFs get the credit (and the gifts!) they deserve for simply existing and making our existence better in the process. They’re making the lives of the rich and famous better too, providing them with plenty of the one thing that all the fame and money in the world can’t buy: LOVE. Check out their (often hilarious, though in some cases sad) odes to their four-legged companions below.

1. Kate Upton: Kate took the day as a very positive PSA opportunity, posting this sweet shot from an adoption event, as well as one of her with own love, Harley.

2. Amanda Seyfried: A newly brunette, short-haired Amanda (is that a wig?!) posted this shot with a jolly pal.

3. Beverley Mitchell: Beverley gave a nod to 7th Heaven’s 20th anniversary by posting a throwback shot of Happy, saying, “Missing this sweet dog! We love you Happy!”

4. Beth Behrs: Newly engaged Beth Behrs’s pooch didn’t get the memo about the celebration in its honor. “It’s #nationaldogday?” she writes. “I call it national side-eye day.”

5. Ruby Rose: Ruby loves her dogs so much, she has royal paintings of their likenesses, which they naturally posed next to. “Loved my prized possessions. And my dogs,” she joked.

6. Candice Swanepoel: Candice’s puppies melted our hearts with this seriously sweet video of them begging to play.

7. Sophia Bush: Like Zac Efron, Sophia Bush lost her best furry friend just before the holiday celebrating his life. “I said goodbye to my best friend yesterday. I don’t quite have the words yet, but the condolences are coming in fast as the word has spread. Thank you everyone who loved Patch, and is sending that love my way. He changed a lot of lives, truly. I watched this dog soothe people, heal people, help people and make people laugh, squeal and grin with happiness. He was one in a million. Yesterday my loved ones and I made sure to give him #PatchesVeryBestDay. And today being #NationalDogDay feels like such a sweet coincidence. I think he’d like that. Thank you P. You are so missed.”

8. Lacey Chabert: Like a true Mean Girl pup, Lacey Chabert’s dog Kitty was “super annoyed that I would post a pic that was taken at such an unflattering angle of her on #nationaldogday,” but it had to be done: too cute.

23. Olivia Munn: Olivia’s dogs blend right into the rug, but that’s because they’re super smart: “Chance is already doing math on the abacus and Frankie just got certified as a yoga instructor,” she writes of her adopted children.

24. Carrie Underwood: Carrie’s little babes showed off their different personalities, both posing and shying away from the camera with their toys.

25. Lo Bosworth: Lo’s boy showed off her goofy grin for the camera.

If you can't stop talking about Severance season 2, you're not alone. The Apple TV+ show has totally taken over the internet (and all my group chats) and as the mysteries at Lumon continue to unfold, there's one heartbreaking, viral theory surrounding this week's episode, and Gemma, that has the internet in a tizzy.

Keep reading for the most insane Severance season 2, episode 9 theory on the internet.

Has Gemma been an innie the whole time?

Apple TV

TikTok user @msauroraalice made the connection that Severance season 2 episode 9, "The After Hours," has the same title as a specific Twilight Zone episode in which a mannequin, well, forgets she's a mannequin. And now we're all wondering whether Severance is going to reveal a very similar plotline with Gemma.

"Could Gemma have been manufactured at Lumon and all of her experience with Mark is just a severed version of herself," @msauroraalice says, theorizing that "there is no Gemma."

"I bet this next episode, Gemma or Helly has a horrifying discovery about themselves just like the mannequin realizing she's not even alive," she continues.

Clearly, this Twilight Zone episode has a ton of similarities to Severance, with the split identities of it all. And as one Reddit user just made it even more heartbreaking by saying, "She could be an experiment from the very start which is why they went as far as to fake her death and recruit Mark to work for them. That would be heartbreaking. It would mean Mark and Gemma 's relationship was manufactured from the beginning."

"The After Hours" is sure to set us up for a crazy 'Severance' season 2 finale.

Apple TV

After everything Mark has been through, this would truly be a heartbreaking turn of events and I don't know if I could handle it! I'm not alone, either. TikTok users flooded the comments of the post (which has over 900K views).

"If Gemma was never a full person to begin with I'm gonna lose my mind," one user said, while another theorized, "I think Gemma is real but she actually died. Lumon had plans for her to begin with so they revived her body because they effectively own it and now she's stuck in purgatory testing."

But if this Severance theory breaks your heart as much as it breaks mine, there's a silver lining. "The next episode after 'The After Hours' from TWZ is called 'The Mighty Casey' and is about a robot who becomes more human I believe," a third TikTok user says.

But honestly, emotional devastation — and peeling back a character's insecurities, fears, and heartbreak to get to their core — make for really good TV because of how relatable those moments can be. So we'll just have to see what the Severance season 2 finale has in store.

Here are 10 Questions I Need Severance Season 2 To Answer — let us know on Instagram what kinds of questions and theories you have.
