Tennis star Caroline Wozniacki’s pet dog Bruno finds pride of place in many of her posts on social media. The Australian Open champion calls her Pomeranian her “son, favourite driver and the main man” in her life. Bruno accompanies her almost everywhere, and his European Union doggy passport comes in handy. Wozniacki recently told a tennis website, “I have trained Bruno not to chase tennis balls. When I practice, I want him to be courtside.”

Olympic gold medallist Abhinav Bindra is a huge fan of dogs, calling them “loyal, unconditionally loving, supportive and compassionate” in a column.
