Paris
Hilton Under Investigation for Dog Boast 2/15/08
Paris Hilton's dog love has landed her at the centre of a new Los
Angeles Department of Animal Services investigation, after the heiress
boasted about owning 17 pets on a TV show.
The socialite told chat show host Ellen DeGeneres all about the extent
of her pooch collection on the comedienne's show on Monday (11Feb08) - not
realizing it's illegal to have more than three dogs at any one non-kennel,
non-breeder, residential address in Los Angeles.
Animal Services sources tell TMZ that bosses of an animal rescue organization
took heed of Hilton's dog boast and complained to the officials, who paid
her a visit on Tuesday (12Feb08).
The website reports Animal Services representatives turned up at
Hilton's home, but Paris and her dogs were not there. They left a message
with a maid and now plan to return to conduct a full inspection.
