Mariah Carey - Did she really chauffeur her dog across the country?

Mariah Carey has attained a career achievement that far exceeds anything she had done before: She is the cover model for the Autumn edition of K9 Magazine. Well, perhaps it doesn't quite top winning multiple Grammy Awards, but I'm sure it beats the heck out of starring in Glitter.

In the K9 interview, she says the reason she came to love dogs so much is that she had to endure the taunts of a parrot as a teen. "My mom's parrot bit me and he used to torment me by saying my name like my mother would when for example she was calling me to come downstairs. So in the middle of the night the bird would be shrieking 'Mariah!'" I'm not saying dogs are better than parrots, but you have to admit you've probably never heard a dog shriek "Mariah!"

The K9 Magazine site also had audio from an interview with Mariah. First question asked: Did you really hire a chauffeur to drive your dog, Jack, 3,000 miles across the country? Why yes, it turns out she did--click here to find out why!
