More money than sense? - 'Twilight's' Robert Pattinson's dog gets his own seat on planes

The 25-year-old actor – who is dating his 'Twilight Saga' co-star Kristen Stewart - adopted his dog Bear from a shelter earlier this year because he felt lonely, so he likes to "smuggle" him into various countries when he's shooting a movie.

Speaking on ‘Live with Regis and Kelly,' he said: "He was in one those shelters where they don't keep them around for very long. He was on his sixth of seven days.

"Just by coincidence – this doesn't happen in my life very often – but I ended up being on a private jet like three days later.

"It was kind of ridiculous. Literally three days after that, we were going to L.A. and he had his own seat [on the plane]. I've smuggled him over borders many times."

But Robert isn't the only star to have adopted a puppy. After Justin Bieber and his girlfriend Selena Gomez – who has five rescue dogs - visited Winnipeg animal rescue center D'Arcy's ARC last month, they fell in love with a 10-week-old husky, which they named Baylor.

D'Arcy Johnston, chief executive officer of the rescue center, said: "They spent a lot of time with the puppies. I was told that Selena was missing the dogs that she has at home.

"I wasn't expecting her to adopt a dog while she was on tour and has a busy schedule. Baylor probably would have had a bad life or a very short life. But he got rescued and brought to our shelter and is now going to live a very good life."

Another misleading title. The article doesn't say anything about him paying for a seat for his dog. It says he was on a private plane. Of course, you could make the argument that using a private plane at all is a waste, and as a pet owner who would like to take my pet on some trips with me, but doesn't want him to fly cargo, if I had the money I'd buy a ticket for him. He should stop smuggling his dog into countries, though. He may run into one where the penalties are severe. I read once of someone who tried to bring his cat into Ireland on the ferry, and he was given 3 choices when it arrived: pay to send him back to England, pay for the 6 month quarantine, or euthanasia.
