Paris Hilton loves small dogs, and lives with a Yorkshire Terrier and a female Chihuahua named Tinkerbell.  Tinkerbell's birthday is on Halloween! 

Hilton is frequently seen carrying Tinkerbell (dubbed an "accessory dog") at social events and functions, and in all five seasons of television reality show The Simple Life.  She is also known to be interested in having a teacup pot-bellied pig, Piglette.  Animal advocates make waves.

Hilton has worked as a model, actress, singer, and engaged in occasional business pursuits.  Pup Tinkerbell has been known to be on many photo shoots and film sets with Hilton.

In 2004 Tinkerbell "authored" a memoir, The Tinkerbell Hilton Diaries. On August 12, 2004, Tinkerbell went missing after Hilton's apartment was burgled, and a $5,000 reward was offered for her safe return. She was found six days later.

By December 1, 2004 Tinkerbell was again spotted with Paris Hilton at various events. Hilton has also purchased a male Chihuahua on July 25, 2007 from Pets of Bel Air in Los Angeles. Hilton's love for man's best friend led her to create an apparel line for dogs called Little Lily by Paris Hilton, with some of the proceeds going to benefit animal rescue.  In an interview during Super Bowl XLII festivities Hilton said: 

I have 17 dogs and I like to dress them, so I started designing this clothing line and it's really cute, like dresses and jeans — everything you can imagine for humans, but for dogs."
