Kylie Minogue Travels 422 Miles for Puppy Love  7/20/07

Pop superstar Kylie Minogue is reportedly making 422-mile trips to the French home of Olivier Martinez - to spend time with his dog.

The pair ended their four-year romance in February (07) after Martinez was romantically linked to actress Michelle Rodriguez and Israeli model Sarai Givati.

The Spinning Around hit maker has been seen in Paris in recent weeks, reportedly enjoying at least two "romantic rendezvous" with her ex.

But the singer has ruled out a reconciliation, insisting the trips are solely to see his Rhodesian ridgeback dog, Sheeba.

A source tells British newspaper The Sun, "Kylie and Olivier are not back together. Kylie has told us she only has eyes for Sheeba.

"It was the walks with her when she was struggling through cancer treatment which kept her sane. She loves Sheeba. That was her biggest worry when they split - that she would be denied visiting rights.

"Very often she jumps on the Eurostar and gets off at Paris to take Sheeba for a walk, have lunch and then gets the train home.

"She says it's a great way to spend the day and really chills her out."
