Being the breakout star of a reality show turned cultural phenomenon has its perks.
For Nicole "Snooki" Polizzi of MTV's Jersey Shore, that means getting to meet an equally diminutive pair – Frankie, the miniature dancing horse, and Daisy, the dog that rides her.
Snooki met Frankie and Daisy (along with their handler Jenny Vidbel) outside the Ed Sullivan Theater in New York on Tuesday, right before the dancing duo performed for The Late Show with David Letterman.
When it was Snooki's turn to chat with the talk show host, he asked what she thought of the dog-and-pony show (Letterman himself was more impressed with the previous day's twinkle-toed guest –the famous merengue dancing Golden retriever).
"That was awesome!" she said. "I saw the dancing dog yesterday, too. That was so cool."
It turns out the reality star doesn't just have showbiz dreams –she also wants to finish a training program to become a vet technician. "I love animals!" she said. Especially the tiny dancing kind.
