Paris Hilton orders filet mignon for a stray dog
While on vacation in Bali this week, heiress Paris Hilton ordered a filet mignon dinner (reportedly costing about $75) for a hungry stray dog outside the restaurant where she was dining.
She later tweeted, “Saw a starving stray dog on the beach of the restaurant… Made me so sad. So we ordered him a filet mignon, he loved it!”
She later added, “The cruel treatment of these stray dogs has upset me so much I can’t sleep. I’m researching the internet to see what I can do to help.”
Well, even though she got some great press for her $75, I doubt that it was just a publicity stunt. Regardless of your opinions of Paris, you can’t argue with the fact that she made the stray dog happy w/ a tasty steak dinner!

One of my unfulfilled dreams is to have a steak dinner with Paris in Paris. Check out my pound dog cousin Oliver getting ready for American Idol. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bxpdC679l-w
It must be nice to spend like crazy, the dog would have been happy with beanie n’ weenie.
Heres what can be done-just a vote can save so many from suffering of dogs in shelters and on streets

At least she’s showing that she cares about something other than herself – good for her – and great for the dog!!
Knowing Paris, this just seems like a show of wealth. Either way, I hope she can use her money on a larger scale to help more stray dogs!-

That has actually made me like Paris Hilton – just a little bit
Sounds like she just wanted to spoil a dog that has probably never been spoiled. Good for her!
She might be “the girl you love to hate” but if she loves animals she can’t be all bad! Good for her. Maybe she has found her niche.
I think what she did was great. If someone has the heart and the funds to help out, then why not?
I’m not one for giving people credit for being famous because their famous, but I find this a sweet thing to do. I’ve found myself ordering meals for the odd stray dog while on vacation. I don’t think I’m the only one, these strays seem to have very good manners, and look fairly well fed
I love this story! Paris Hilton is a great animal advocate!
Go Paris!! Love how generous you are!!

Paris has a big heart. That doggie must have thought his dreams had come true. Don’t dogs dream all day of filet mignon?
Nice of her to buy an expensive meal for the dog, but wouldn’t it have been better for her to use her money to rescue the dog, get it cleaned up at the vet, and use her celebrity to help it find a new home?
We visited Bali Dog rescue and gave donations of money and medical supplies… we read in a magazine how Paris said she wanted to help Bali dogs, but all she managed to do was tweet about how compassionate she was, and even after being tweeted/asked to go and visit Bali Dog Rescue shelter, she didn’t bother to even visit or donate! :C We have been feeding street dogs in Bali whilst here on holidays every night, but i guess because we’re not famous….its no big deal!
Paris, How about putting money behind your words and live up to you compassionate persona you portray!!
