Paris Hilton is in the doghouse after boasting on national television that she owns 17 canines.
The Los Angeles Department of Animal Services is investigating the heir-head after she appeared on The Ellen Degeneres Show Monday and regaled the talk show host with stories about her bounty of bitches.
"They all sleep in my bed – not all of them but I let some of them," Hilton purred (thereby solidifying our theory that she'll sleep with pretty much anything.)
When asked why she has so many, Hilton explained, "'Cause 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." (No seriously, that was her explanation.)
A disgusted-looking Degeneres, who's no stranger to being in deep doggie doo-doo herself, went all Bob Barker on Hilton's ass, pleading "Paris, you have to spay and neuter your pets!"
Following the show, Animal Services paid a visit to Hilton's house to investigate her claim, though no one was home at the time, reports TMZ.com. By law, a non-breeder in L.A. is only allowed to own three dogs per address.
