My buddy

Tennis sensation Venus Williams sits in a line-referee's chair looking after her dog Bobby during a training session at the Hamburg-Rothenbaum tennis club in Hamburg of northern Germany. The top-ranked tennis champ was in the country to defend her Betty Barclay Cup championship title in which she won in 1999 and 2001.

In February, Williams, 21, became the first Black player with a No. 1 world ranking (Women's Tennis Association) since Arthur Ashe in 1975.
