So how can you tell Stump the pup from Stump the singer? A quick guide:

Stump: J. R., a bichon frisé who won Best in Show at Westminster in 2001 with Stump’s handler, Scott Sommer

Review of Peter Tosh’s The Ultimate Peter Tosh Experience:
Patrick Stump: “If Bob Marley was reggae’s Bob Dylan, Peter Tosh was its MC5: less accessible, more cocky and a whole hell of a lot more dangerous.”

LOL no, that isn’t his dog. To me, that picture looks photoshopped. But if for some crazy reason it isn’t, then he was obviously just posing with the dog.
