A-Line: Celebrity StyleGeorge Clooney’s Puppy Love
In the latest issue of Esquire, ultimate A-lister George Clooney opens up about everything from his close-knit group of friends to the fact the public has forgotten he was once married. And while he's had a gaggle of girlfriends over the years (including his current one, former pro wrestler Stacy Keibler), the love-at-first-sight experience he describes in the magazine was with none other than his adopted dog Einstein -- with whom he poses in the accompanying (and adorable) photo.
The story of how Einstein came to move in with one of Hollywood's most famous men is as charming as Clooney himself. Read on for the recap he gave Esquire.

I was looking for a dog because I hadn't had one for a while — and I wanted one that was house-trained. I'm just terrible at house-training dogs. So I go online and see Einstein. They had a whole film about him. It was actually really sweet. You see him all beat up and shit in the shelter, and they show how they cleaned him up. God, I love this dog. So I called and said, "I like Einstein!"

The woman goes, "Well, we don't know if Einstein will like you."
"Well, can I meet with Einstein?"
"Yes, we'll bring him to your house, but if he doesn't like you, he can't stay. We have to have good homes for these dogs." She sounded very serious.
Clooney's Lady, Like You've Never Seen Her Before!
Okay. I have this really long driveway, and I open the gate for them, and I start to panic that Einstein is not going to like me. So I run into the kitchen, where I have these turkey meatballs, and I rub them all over my shoes.
Is George Clooney One of the Best-Looking Men of All Time?
This woman opens the door, and who knew Einstein was such a food whore on top of everything? He throws himself at my feet.
She says, "I've never seen him react like that, ever!" And she left him with me on the spot. And forever, now, he just thinks of me as the guy with meatball feet. He loves me. I can do no wrong. He follows me everywhere.
And who could blame him?
