Paris Hilton, the most dangerous thing to happen to reality television and the animal kingdom, is P.O.'d over a story that surfaced last week that she tried to buy a new puppy from The Puppy Store in Los Angeles for use in a photo shoot she was en route to, but was refused by a store clerk who was probably wise to her illegal dog owning ways. Page Six reported the professional red carpet walker "went 'ballistic' … She started screaming, 'I love my puppies! I want my baby!'" But it's all untrue, says Ms. Hilton!

Says Paris, blogging on her MySpace Celebrity Blog, which is much less expensive than a publicist:

I wanted to let you know that I've been getting messages and reading stories about an incident that supposedly happened with me and a pet store: I was catching up on news last week only to read a story about me walking by some puppies for sale, and demanding that I be given a Yorkie puppy to be an accessory for a photo shoot. These stories have gotten out of control and I want to clear some things up-

I wasn't looking for a new pet, I wasn't even at a photo shoot that day, (I was down the street at Benji's DCMA clothing store) and I actually have a Yorkie puppy. I love animals and the cruel things people say are not acceptable. Puppies are not accessories or toys and I love my own pets dearly–I treat them as if they were my children. Of course I support pet adoption from shelters, and I made sure that my BFF show involved a local one to spread the word about how these animals need loving owners. So it is sad that someone felt the need to invent a story about me throwing a fit for a dog that would "go with my outfit."

I have no idea where people come up with these stories and they are spreading to so many news outlets that I just have to speak my mind and clear things up, especially with my fans. I love you all and appreciate your messages, as always.
