When hitting the road for their Full Moon Crazy tour this fall, the guys of the pop group Honor Society — the first band signed to the Jonas Brothers' new record label — knew they could count on one loyal roadie: their dog Willis. The rescued miniature poodle is a part of the band's family — and a tough critic. "She hears a lot of Honor Society songs before anyone else," bass guitarist Andrew Lee tells PEOPLEPets.com. "If we see her tail wagging, we know it's a good lyric."

The pup, who's even appeared in some of the guy's goofy YouTube clips, has earned a following of her own. "Our fans love her! She gets more gifts at our meet-and-greets than we do," says vocalist Michael Bruno. "She's received dog Snuggies, sweaters and even a Wonder Woman costume."

Taking to Twitter to tell their fans about their pooch — plus other products and info — comes naturally for the group. So when they were approached by Ubisoft about teaming up with the ASPCA to promote November's Sharing and Caring pet-care initiative, it seemed like a natural fit. "Our relationship with our fans is like a friendship — it's like, 'Hey guys, check this out'," Bruno says. "So it's easy to share our thoughts with them through Twitter and MySpace, and hear what they have to say in return."

Vanna White's three favorite letters? C-A-T! While she may don fancy dresses and clap effusively in your living room each night, at home, Vanna White's just happy to hang out with her kids — and her two cats. "I always had cats growing up," White tells PEOPLEPets.com. "So it was natural for me to raise some as an adult too."

Mom to Kiki, 8, and Stella, 4, White says taking care of cats in Hollywood is slightly different than in Myrtle Beach, S.C., where she grew up. "We didn't have a litter box inside, so the cats would just scratch at the door and go out," she explains. "But where I live now, there's always the threat of coyotes, so you have to be a lot more careful."

While White adopted Kiki, she bought Stella at a pet store in a self-described moment of weakness. "My daughter and I just happened to be walking by the store, and stopped in to see the pets. Lo and behold, my daughter fell in love with Stella — and there was no going back!"
