Susan Sarandon's Matching Dog

Susan Sarandon's dog wears the same outfits as her.

The Oscar-winning actress was thrilled when the crew on her 2007 movie 'Mr Woodcock' made one of her beloved pet pooches a prom dress identical to the one she wears in the film.

She said: "They did a really sweet thing. I had brought my little dog, who's just a mutty dog and they made her a prom dress just like mine. She wore it to my son Jack's pre-prom junior year dance.

"It had little rhinestones and was made from the same material as my outfit in the film. I'm now starting a scrap book with my dog with all of these pictures... it's pretty funny."

Earlier this year, it was claimed Paula Abdul was planning to release a clothing line for dogs.

The former 'American Idol' judge, who has several pet pooches, has decided to design a range of exclusive accessories for pampered animals.

A source said: "Paula is secretly launching a new business, designing duds for classy canines. She has already met with major pet store buyers who are straining at the leash to handle her designs."

The 47-year-old ex-pop star is believed to be working on crystal-studded collars and leashes, T-shirts, sweaters and shoes for dogs.
