Anna Nicole Smith the Playboy centrefold and model whose colourful life was cut tragically short was known for her publicity seeking stunts as well as her penchant for marrying elderly billionaires. Amidst all the media feeding frenzy over her death animal rights group PETA remembered someone who was devoted to her dogs and spent much of her time publicising animal causes. Smith owned three dogs including Marilyn, Puppy and the most well-known, neurotic Prozac taking Sugar Pie. On the model's reality TV show she frequently poured her heart out to the dog who would hump a teddy bear in distress. Evoking her idol Marilyn Monroe Smith took part in PETA's "Gentlemen Prefer Fur-Free Blondes" campaign and later spoke out about how she stopped feeding her dogs IAMs after an undercover investigation revealed mistreatment of cats and dogs at their animal testing laboratory. A spokeperson for the animal
rights groups stated "PETA is extremely upset by the news of Anna
Nicole Smith's untimely death. She was a great friend to animals and used
every opportunity to speak out against senseless cruelty. We always thought
Anna Nicole was a perfect fit for PETA because, just like us, she not
only hated cruelty to animals and loved her dog. It is a tragedy when
anyone passes away before their time, but with Anna Nicole, animals have
lost a true hero and PETA has lost a good friend. We will miss her". ©Jen
