Paris
Hilton Defends Her Pooch Collection
2/28/08
Socialite Paris Hilton has defended herself against criticism of her
extensive pet collection, insisting she only owns 17 dogs because they
keep breeding.
The Simple Life star is currently at the centre of a new Los Angeles
Department of Animal Services investigation after recently boasting about
her pooches on Ellen DeGeneres' TV chat show.
But Hilton claims her brood keeps growing because she doesn't want to
separate newborn pups from their parents.
She says, "They keep having babies and I feel bad to give them
away because I feel like, if I had a baby and someone gave it away it
would be mean."
