Shopping at the grocery store this weekend, I stumbled across a glossy magazine with puppies all over the cover. After I oogled and googled at the adorable-worable puppies, I realized it was O, The Oprah Magazine. I am not usually picking that one up, but had to take a gander at the “dog issue”.

Vice President Joe Biden was in Syracuse, New York on Monday to talk to students at Bellevue Elementary School. During question and answer session, one of the children asked “Have you ever petted a dog?”

Biden answered, “Oh yea! Guess what? I got one that lives with me. The smartest, coolest dog in the world, his name is Champ. And he’s a German Shepherd and he is the neatest dog.”

Then after reminiscing about one of his previous dogs named Senator (another German Shepherd Dog), he went on to say, "I wish you could see my doggie. And by the way, I kid the president, my dog's smarter than Bo, his dog. Yeah I do. I think he is. But Bo's a beautiful dog too." Then he quickly moved onto the next question.

It’s really pretty funny. I bet Biden could have gone on longer, comparing his “smart” and “awesome” German Shepherd to Obama’s new Portuguese Water Dog. Of course he would never dare sling insults directly at Obama now would he? That would just be silly, they are on the same team!

This isn't from the movie Marley & Me. This is Jennifer Aniston stopping to help catch a dog that was on the loose on Sunset Boulevard. Apparently, a member of the ever-present flock of paparazzi then ran to help find the owner. It's nice to see celebrity photograhers and their victims working together once in awhile. See, famous people? You don't always have to beat on those crazies with the three-foot lenses!

Aniston may have recently developed a bit of a soft spot towards the photographers. They recently saved Jennifer's Aniston's dog all by themselves. Plus, the fact that Aniston recently banked over $8 million in salary in a recent dog-related movie, makes this a love fest all around.

Oh, what animal actors will put up with for fame and a milk bone. More pics after the jump.
