Irresponsible and Responsible Celebrity Dog Owners
Britney Spears tops the charts of The New York Dog and The Hollywood Dog as worst celebrity dog owner because she abandoned her three dogs. Am I the only one who recognized that Spears was a bad dog owner when she kept dogs as fashion accessories?
The title of Best Celebrity Dog Owner was taken by Oprah Winfrey, whose five dogs each have a personal nanny. While hired pet-care does not top my list of criteria for responsible dog ownership, the cause of pet-friendly lodging was certainly served when the Ritz-Carlton St. Louis arranged for “'special amenities' . . . for two canine companions of Oprah Winfrey when she came to town." Winfrey is also among the celebrities who "signed wooden 'dog bones' for a charity auction benefiting the Mississippi Animal Rescue League."
