SINGAPORE – Top fashion magazine Vogue has gone to the dogs – literally.
Dogue, its annual digital publication which highlights celebrities’ fur babies, has some top dogs on its covers, including those belonging to K-pop girl group Blackpink’s Rose and American singer-actress Sabrina Carpenter.
Released on Aug 18, Dogue also featured pets owned by personalities such as Formula One racer Lewis Hamilton, Colombian pop star Maluma and American actress Mikey Madison.
Fulfilment of Rose’s ‘dog mum’ destiny
One of the most-followed celebrity dogs on Instagram, Rose’s terrier mix Hank – with 4.6 million fans – was a Covid-19 pet.
During the pandemic, the K-pop idol was quarantined at home in Seoul after a whirlwind string of international performances with Blackpink, including the In Your Area world tour (2018 to 2020). She was scrolling through Instagram in 2020 when she came across a seven-month-old puppy seeking a forever home.

“I was just so drawn to his story. My family and I got to meet Hank, and as soon as I saw him, my heart was stolen. The next day, we decided to adopt him,” the Apt. (2024) singer said in an interview with Vogue US, adding that she knew she would be a “dog mum” someday.
Next was the naming of the puppy, which went from Bluey to Benji, but nothing felt right, said Rose, 28.
“I’m a huge fan of Tom Hanks. I’ve followed his Instagram for a while, and at the end of all his posts, he would always sign off with – THanks,” Rose said of the American actor. “I woke up one day and I thought it sounded really cool. I went to work and told my (Blackpink) members his name was Hank.”

Now five, Hank enjoys a simple life with his “pawrent”, chewing on socks or going for walks, but he is also accustomed to her glamorous rock-star lifestyle.
He is often seen hanging out with Rose when the New Zealand-born singer-songwriter has photo shoots, including at her recent cover shoot for Vogue Korea’s August 2025 issue.
He is also featured alongside Rose in her official merchandise, such as the Christmas 2024 photo album titled Season’s Greetings From Hank & Rose.
“I would love to take him on flights and everywhere I could,” said Rose, who is on Blackpink’s Deadline world tour.
Describing Hank as a “very loyal son” and bilingual – he understands Korean and English words – the terrier mutt would stay with Rose’s parents and elder sister when she is out of town.
“Hank knows how to take care of all four of us as a family. He’s the happiest when we’re all together.”
A woman’s best friends
Carpenter’s upcoming seventh studio album, releasing on Aug 29, may be titled Man’s Best Friend, but the real stars in her life are Goodwin and Louie.
Carpenter, 26, named her first dog Goodwin after The Goodwin Games (2013), a short-lived TV series about three estranged siblings.
She grew up with Goodwin – a mixture of maltese, Lhasa Apso, Yorkshire terrier and a long-haired chihuahua – when she was a child star.

Louie, a one-year-old cavapoo – a cross between a cavalier King Charles spaniel and a miniature or toy poodle – is new to the family.
Both Goodwin, 14, and Louis are no strangers to their owner’s superstar lifestyle.
When the Manchild (2025) singer learnt that her pets were to be on the cover of Dogue, she FaceTimed them to tell them the good news.
On the Dogue cover, the two canines pose while riding a white miniature Mercedes-Benz, a nod to Carpenter’s Manchild music video.
The proud fur parent also took to Instagram Stories to share the good news on Aug 18, joking about their growing popularity and inflated egos. “They can’t go on walks without getting stopped any more… egos have substantially grown. Wish me luck,” she wrote.
The singer, who was Vogue US’ March 2025 cover star, told the publication that Goodwin and Louie are “genuinely loving and adoring”. Though they are her “sweet little babies”, they can be a handful at times.
“Goodwin’s alter ego has always been Badwin, which seems pretty self-explanatory,” said Carpenter. “For Louie, when he’s being bad, I call him Lucifer.”
A huge dog lover, the Grammy winner unveiled each of the song titles on Man’s Best Friend by having her fans pose with an adorable pup and a director’s chair embroidered with the track names.

Both dogs had joined Carpenter on her Short N’ Sweet tour (2024 to 2025), though they were confined to her dressing room.
“Tour is weird for them because it’s a super-rock-star lifestyle. They come on the (tour) bus,” said Carpenter.
“They wait in my dressing room during the show, so they’ve actually never got to see me perform live, which sucks for them because I think they’d like it.”
