Broadway’s favorite dog lover Bernadette Peters stopped by the fourth hour of The Today Show on July 31. Of course, she didn’t go alone; joining her were three adorable pups—Palmer, Marty and Russell (all up for adoption!). The Tony winner shared her inspiration for her latest children’s book Stella and Charlie: Friend Forever, and admitted just how strong her love for dogs is: “I understand what a womanizer is because I’m a doganizer.” And for the record, Peters is #TeamPatti: “We’re on stage to make an experience for an audience…if you don’t come in with that expectation, you’re ruining it for everybody.” Turn your phone off and check out the interview below!
