She just can’t seem to get enough attention these days! Unfortunately, it’s bad attention that’s she is getting. The New York Dog and The Hollywood Dog magazines award this title every year to public figures. Editor Hilary O’Hagan states that there was no question about this year’s winner.

So what was the reason behind Britney’s “award”? Prior to her marriage to Kevin Federline (who is to be her ex-husband pretty soon, as we all know), Britney used to have 3 Chihuahuas. You know, those cute tiny dogs that cannot seem to stop yapping? As a bachelorette, Britney used to go around everywhere with those dogs of her. She actually never went anywhere without at least one of them cradled in her arms. So what happened? Enter Kevin Federline and her children. The result? The dogs vanished into thin air.

I wouldn’t think that was such a bad choice – family for dogs. Don’t get me wrong I love dogs. But maybe she just didn’t have time for the puppies anymore? After all, she only has two hands – and two arms for that matter. How can anyone expect her to lug around three Chihuahuas and her baby at the same time? She had enough flak coming because of how she “mishandled” her baby in her car, remember?

In any case, she got the award, which ironically (or maybe portentously?), belonged to her pal Paris Hilton last year. On a happier note, Oprah Winfrey won the best dog owner award because of her loving care of her five dogs.
