Mario Testino/VMAN Magazine

Tom Brady’s latest cover shot -- on VMan magazine’s fall issue -- is a head-turner, featuring the Patriots quarterback with teeth bared standing next to an apparently-angry Doberman Pinscher with the headline “America’s Alpha Dog”.

Inside the magazine, Brady also appears with a studded dog collar around his neck.

Brady, of course, is no stranger to magazine covers. He’s not even a stranger to posing with animals in magazine spreads (who could forget this shot with a baby goat in GQ in 2005).

Brady took a lot of ribbing from teammates after the goat photos. It will be fun to see if he will be the butt of any jokes this time around.
