London, Nov 9 (IANS) Socialite Paris Hilton has found herself a new toy — a puppy she carries around in a handbag.

‘The 29-year-old blonde cuddled her new dog before stowing it safely in her trendy handbag as she headed into a camera shop,’ dailymail.co.uk reports.

She matched her outfit to the dog’s blue carrier by wearing a turquoise t-shirt and carrying a handbag of the same colour.

The socialite is known for her love for canines. She had previously admitted owning 17 dogs, which takes the total now to 18.
