Hilton named worst celebrity dog owner

NEW YORK (AP) -- When it comes to celebrity dog-parenting skills, Joss Stone is tops and Paris Hilton is the worst, according to an online vote by readers of two dog magazines.

Stone, who has a poodle named Dusty Springfield, volunteered for the North Shore Animal League America after seeing images of pets stranded in the aftermath of hurricanes Katrina and Wilma, said The New York Dog and The Hollywood Dog magazines.

The 18-year-old British singer also recorded a public service announcement seeking support for the homeless pets of the Gulf Coast.

"Joss is a huge advocate for shelter dogs and it's not just talk," said Leslie Padgett, editor of the magazines. "This year, despite an incredibly hectic schedule, she went out of her way to help the dogs of Katrina and Wilma."

Hilton, a 24-year-old hotel heiress and star of "The Simple Life," was voted the world's worst celebrity dog owner.

"First she loses Tinkerbell, then she ditches her for a cuter dog, then replaces that dog with a ferret, then a kinkajou monkey and then, I gather, a goat," Padgett said in a statement. "Recently Tinkerbell was spotted back in Paris' arms. But how long will she be in favor this time?"


Seriously, someone needs to confiscate Tinkerbell from Hilton and put him in a home where people will love him 24hours a day and not just for a few publicity shots

1. I know a celebrity who shall remain nameless who paid her staff 80K a year
to look after the family's menagerie of dogs and cats.

The animals were not wanting in any way, shape or form. No kennels, LOTS of love, regular grooming, vets visits as needed, exercize, trinkets, great food, toys, and honestly, loads and loads of love from lots of people.

Posing for a photo now and then isn't all bad.
