Dog Daily News

We're sure Ashley Greene's Twilight co-star Kelian Lutz is checking out her pup, Marlow...

On the eve of New Moon, which opens later this month, star Ashley Greene says she is shocked by her Twilight fame — and even more surprised by the accompanying fame of her dog, Marlow.

“It’s crazy, right?” she says in the December issue of Maxim. “I think my dog is more famous than a lot of stars out there. I bet some people in Hollywood are like, ‘I can’t get my picture in a mag, but Ashley’s pooch does?’ It’s mind-boggling.”

Now that has got to make a lot of wannabe stars feel good! You are so scoring points with up-and-coming actors, Ash!

But we wonder: Could Marlow’s fame come from the fact that she (Marlow is a girl) has fangs and a bit of fur, as do the vampires in Twilight? That would add to the dog’s fledgling cult status. Or could it simply be that in almost every picture, Ashley is hugging her tight to her chest?

This is what Ashley Greene looks like when she's not holding Marlow

One last deep thought: Marlow is a toy Fox Terrier. We think Fox Terriers are small enough as it is. Full-grown female Fox Terriers weigh about 15 pounds — the same as I do. Why this big need to make them smaller yet? It seems like humans are making mini versions of every dog these days. Is it so we can fit on the bosoms of starlets? Is it so we can be sneaked into malls and movies and planes? I ask this from the perspective of life as a small Jack Russell. What’s in store for future generations of my ilk? Little 5-pound Jack-ette Russells who get stepped on accidentally and obliterated? This Frankensteinian madness has to stop!

But I digress…
