Jake and Kirsten love their dogs (and each other?)

If you ever get the chance to date Jake Gyllenhaal, be sure to get a pet with him before you break up. The actor is devoted to his dogs and is rumored to be considering getting back together with his ex, Kirsten Dunst because of them.

According to Absolute Now, Jake and Kirsten may be pulling a Hilary and Chad. Like Hilary Swank and Chad Lowe, Gyllenhaal and Dunst are rumored to have reunited over their pets. They purchased two dogs, Atticus and Boo Radley (both named after character in To Kill a Mockingbird) while still a couple.

One of Jake’s friends said, "They still see a lot of each other because of the dogs. Maybe because of that they haven't really moved on from each other, so it's got to the point where they both feel maybe they should be together. They enjoy the same things and are under the same pressures from their work so they might just make it work after all."

Sorry gals. It looks like the key to Jake’s heart is through his German Shepherd.
