Magazine names Cyrus' dogs most eligible

Hannah Montana's concert tour and soundtrack aren't the only hot things on the charts these days.

Miley Cyrus' pets, Roadie and Loco, have been named top dogs by Animal Fair magazine.

Roadie, a Yorkie, and Loco, a Shih Tzu, clawed their way to the top of the magazine's Most Eligible Pets list. Readers' votes were announced Tuesday, and the list appears in the magazine's winter issue, on newsstands now.

"All the time we hear about the sexiest men alive, the best- and worst-dressed celebrities or the most beautiful people," editor Wendy Diamond said. "What about the pets?"

The list boasts a diverse group of pets hailing from owners who lead their fields in design, law, comedy, medicine and music, according to the magazine for animal lovers.

Cyrus' pooches triumphed because "they're the only ones who can get tickets to the sold-out Hannah Montana tour," Diamond said.

Cyrus portrays Montana.

Last month, the 15-year-old star of the Disney Channel show and daughter of country singer Billy Ray Cyrus announced she would extend her "Best of Both Worlds Tour" with 14 more performances after all 55 shows sold out in minutes. Her "Hannah Montana 2 (Soundtrack)/Meet Miley Cyrus" album is also on Billboard's Top 10 list.

Also on Animal Fair's list are Jake and Bill, terriers that help actress Glenn Close with her dog-friendly blog, Lively Licks, and Teddy, the mini goldendoodle belonging to celebrity blogger Perez Hilton.

"This year our readers chose an outstanding list of eligible pets," Diamond said. "While they may be eligible, let's also hope they're also spayed and neutered — although that's none of our business!"
