10 Awesome Movie Animals We Wish We Had As Pets

9. Baxter (Anchorman 1 & 2)

Ron Burgundy is a man of many talents, and his status as a (local) Emmy-Award winning anchorman is the stuff of legend. Outside of the news, he loves poetry, a glass of scotch, and his best friend, Baxter. The Border Terrier is Ron€™s partner in crime and stands devotedly by his side. Not even the love of Ron€™s life, Veronica Corningstone, could come between him and his beloved dog. Baxter€™s apparent death after being punted off the San Diego Bridge by Jack Black confined Ron in a glass case of emotion, and he spiralled into a deep depression. However, Baxter is more resilient than we all thought, and he survives the fall and travels across the nation to find his way back to Ron. If you€™re the kind of person who finds themselves in constant battles with nature€™s apex predators, he€™s the dog you want by your side. He€™s Ron€™s little gentleman; a suave, classy animal who will always be there if you need him, whether it be an understanding shoulder to lean on, or you€™ve jumped into a grizzly bear exhibit and need bailing out. How many other animals out there have gone toe to toe with a Great White Shark and won? If he was around during Jaw€™s attacks on Amity Island, it would have been a completely different story. Plus he ate a whole wheel of cheese! That€™s amazing!
