Hotel heiress Paris Hilton was doing normal promotion for her movie when she smilingly answered a question posed to her by Ellen DeGeneres. Hilton told the talk show host she has 17 -seventeen- dogs. How did the dogs reach such an astronomical count? “They keep having babies, and I feel bad to give them away ‘cause I feel like if I had a baby and someone gave it away, it’d be mean.” So, she just keeps them all. Welcome to the logic and mindset of Paris Hilton - spend too much time here and you’ll forget to wear underwear but maintain all sorts of canine morality.

After this network appearance, animal services turned up at the Hilton home. Because Paris isn’t a pet breeder, she actually can’t have more than three dogs at a single address. However, department officials weren’t able to find any dogs (or the heiress herself) at the mansion. A rep for the heiress claims the doggies are actually divided up among those close to Paris, and always have been.
