Sabrina Carpenter‘s dogs may be famous enough now to grace the cover of Dogue, but first and foremost, they’ll always be woman’s best friend.
On Monday (Aug. 18), the pop star and Vogue jointly announced that Carpenter’s two pups, Goodwin and Louie, are cover stars for the publication’s ongoing dog-focused series. “My dogs’ first dogue cover,” the performer wrote, sharing the issue on her Instagram Story.
On the Dogue cover, the two canines pose with their tongues out while riding a white miniature Mercedes-Benz, modeling kerchiefs specially ordered for the occasion by Carpenter’s mom. “They can’t go on walks without getting stopped anymore … egos have substantially grown,” the Grammy winner also quipped. “Wish me luck.”
Goodwin and Louie aren’t the only celebrity fur babies who are part of Dogue‘s latest cover series. ROSÉ of BLACKPINK’s terrier Hank is also featured this issue, as are Maluma’s Dobermans, Buda and Karma, and Siberian huskies Bonnie and Clyde.
In an interview with Vogue, Carpenter shared some of her favorite things about her pups. At 14-years-old, Goodwin — named after one of the singer-actress’ first gigs, a role on quickly scrapped series The Goodwin Games — has been with the musician since she first kicked off her career starring on Disney Channel’s Girl Meets World in 2014.
One-year-old Louie is newer to the Carpenter family, but he already has a nickname for when he misbehaves. “When he’s being bad, I call him Lucifer, but most of the time I just call him LouLou,” Carpenter told Vogue.
“This sounds cliché, but their best quality — both of them — is just how genuinely loving and adoring they are,” she added of her pups. “Goodwin is really empathetic. He just knows when you’re sick and not feeling well. His eyes are humanlike. He’s got a lot of emotion; he has a lot of stories. Louie’s most humanlike quality would probably be his ears. They’re so attuned. He’s such a good listener.”
The musician’s collaboration with Vogue comes at a fitting time, considering the dog-themed aesthetics of her fast-approaching new album, Man’s Best Friend. Arriving Aug. 28, the LP’s cover features Carpenter channeling a four-legged sidekick as she poses on all fours, held in place by a man grabbing her by the hair.
Carpenter also unveiled each of the song titles on the album by having her fans pose with an adorable pup and a director’s chair embroidered with the track names.
