King

The wire fox terrier, formally known as King Arthur Van Foliny Home, was crowned this year as the Best in Show at the 143rd Westminster Kennel Club Dog Show. The 7-year-old is originally from Brazil and is greatly loved by his handler Gabriel Rangel. "I look at King, he's like a beautiful painting, a piece of art," he told NBC News. "The way he stands and performs, he's the whole package." If that isn't love, we don't know what is.

The lovable "First Dog" joined his owners in the White House in 2009 after much speculation on the selection of the family's new pet. The Obamas chose the hypoallergenic Portuguese Water Dog in part because of Malia's allergies. According to his "baseball card," the pup loves tomatoes and toys (and maybe also microphones).
