So Paris Hilton is in the news again, but this time it doesn’t involve pictures of her getting drunk at Hyde Nightclub, nor does it involve any sort of hidden sex tapes. This time she’s in the news for potentially housing 17 dogs in her Hollywood mansion. Supposedly Paris Hilton appeared on the Ellen Degeneres show and revealed that some of her dogs had puppies which brought her dog total to 17! I guess there is a law that maximizes the number of dogs allowed in a household, probably for sanitary reasons. Anyhow, soon after the show aired, animal services began an investigation to get down to the bottom of everything. Although Paris wanted to keep all the puppies, she was forced to give away 7 of her puppies to her stylist and friends. Some people have been criticizing her for keeping so many dogs in her house. Many people argue that she’s a bad pet owner and she doesn’t deserve to have these dogs. Some critics also argue that Paris Hilton abandoned her original Chihuahua, Tinkerbell, because she got too big.

Well, I have to disagree with a lot people. Although Paris Hilton is often in the limelight and in the news for things we hope our children will never do, I have to say that I really think Paris Hilton is a genuine animal lover and great dog owner.

Sure, she party’s like it’s 1999 every day and she makes dirty home movies, but I really think that she is a good dog owner. It would be hard for me to believe that her dogs are living a less than mediocre life. I bet that when she comes home, she gives her dogs plenty of attention and they all probably eat better than you and I. You’re probably thinking that eating well and living in a plush mansion can’t possibly mean that Paris Hilton is a good dog owner. However, keep in mind that Paris’ life is looked at with a microscope from society, paparazzi, and the news. One little mistake from Paris and everyone automatically blows it out of proportion. I’m not trying to sympathize for her, but let’s get real, besides the constant heavy partying and crazy tapes she’s made, I’m sure plenty of us have done some things that we’re not so proud. of.

So when we hear stories of Paris Hilton abandoning her dog because it got too big, or that she is irresponsible because Tinkerbell was lost for 1 week, I don’t think we should all assume that Paris Hilton is a horrible dog owner.  Maybe we should read these stories with a grain of salt and think that maybe, just maybe, the news and tabloids manipulate things here and there just to make us watch and read their stuff.   I guarantee that there are far worse people out there that own dogs…..puppy mill owners would be the first that come to mind. So let’s give Paris a break and just see her as a girl that is in love with animals….and herself of course.
