Michael Phelps stunned the world when he won eight gold medals at the 2008 Olympic Games in Bejing. The best swimmer in the world though is also a dog's best friend. Phelps shares his home with Herman, a cool bulldog who watches TV on the couch with his buddy Michael and snores a lot. Phelps says Herman is like a kid, except that he is very laid back and low maintenance. Check out the video below of Phelps in his earlier days training with Herman nearby.

 

 For more info: Watch Phelps swim and check out this interview with his mom Debby.
