The singer revealed that she can no longer imagine her life without her adopted dog - and that as pets they are beautiful souls who don't demand anything back.
Ms. Underwood said: "He's smart and he's fun, and makes me really appreciate all the little things in life because he is a little thing." The dog, Ace, was described as a natural in front of camera after appearing in the shoot with his owner.The singer continues to help rescue dogs by volunteering at a shelter when she goes home to Oklahoma and had worked in veterinary clinic before becoming famous.

Just when you thought Twitter had broken the limits of stupidity with products like Twoddler, which lets tots send short messages, Mattel is making sure it really does go to the dogs. The toy giant's Puppy Tweets turns your pooch's woofs into tweets so you can keep up with its busy daily schedule of eating, sleeping, and destroying your slippers.
Available soon from Amazon for about $30, Puppy Tweets consists of a collar tag with integrated motion and sound sensors that's linked to your home computer via Wi-Fi. A USB receiver is included. The tag will send a tweet to your dog's Twitter account whenever the animal moves, barks, or naps. Nope, making a mess on the carpet doesn't merit a tweet. Needless to say, you'd have to really, really...Read More
This week, you have the chance to see a rarity in canine theater: a dog actor with dialogue.

The big daddy of American canine competitions, the Westminster Kennel Club Dog Show, is underway at New York's Madison Square Garden.
Westminster, now in its 134th year, runs for two consecutive days. (For those who, like us, couldn't make it to New York to see it in person, the show will be televised Monday from 8 to 9 p.m. on the USA Network and from 9 to 11 p.m. on CNBC; and Tuesday from 8 to 11 p.m. on USA.)
Of course, what's a dog show without elaborately coiffed, trimmed, powdered, rubber-banded and headgear-wearing dogs of all shapes and sizes? Nothing, that's what. We've assembled some of our favorite photos from the first day of Westminster competition, from beagles to bichons frises...Read More
