Meet the Hollywood stars with a claws in their contract my pet stays in the picture!
Celebs such as Pamela Anderson, Paris Hilton and Megan Fox are so fond of their animals they have been queuing up to have their photographs taken with them.
Their cameraman of choice is Christopher Ameruoso, LA’s top dog for pet portraits. Now he has released his favourite images among his 500-strong portfolio.
And despite the dog-eat-dog world of showbiz, its clear ex-Baywatch star Pammie has a soft spot for her labrador Star, heiress Paris cherishes her chihuahua Tinkerbell, and socialite Nicole Richie gets double delight from her pomeranian Foxy and shih tzu Honey Chili.
Cheryl Cole’s dancer pal Derek Hough loves his poodle Lady Dog-Ga. Actress Jane Seymour, though, is more of a cat person as shown by her affection for moggy Stachie.
As for Transformers beauty Megan, her four-legged friend has trotters: Vietnamese pot-bellied pig, Piggy Smalls.
Chris said: I have photographed just about every hot celebrity in Hollywood with their pets. I get to witness the love and bond these people share with their animals.
But Chris has reptile lover Slash, of Gun N Roses, to fang for one ofhis most memorable shoots. He recalled: He had a snake and a beardeddragon, but the lizard went for a run in Beverly Hills.
