In the comic-strip world of Garfield the cat, there's little room for dogs, especially his housemate Odie. So it might be surprising that Jennifer Love Hewitt, one of the stars of the new movie about the big fat orange cat, is, well, more of a dog person.
"I used to have an orange cat, his name was Chester," Hewitt tells Zap2it.com. "I don't have him anymore, it's sad. But I have a dog now."
So how does her Chihuahua, Mia, compare to Odie? In "Garfield" the film, Odie is portrayed by Tyler, a half-Dachsund, half-Cairn Terrier mix, and has one of the more memorable scenes as he dances on his hind legs to rap music.
