Demi Moore's tiny pup Pilaf is getting all the attention! 

The Chihuahua graced one of the covers of Dogue, Vogue's digital cover project devoted to "celebri-dogs," which also includes Glen Powell's pup Brisket and Billie Eilish's canine Shark. Moore's brown and white pup appears in all of her 1.2-pound glory on her cover, physically taking up a small corner of the page but filling it with personality.

In an accompanying interview to Pilaf's Dogue cover published on Wednesday, Aug. 14, Moore, 61, opened up about her smaller-than-pint-sized pet, who she takes "everywhere," including to see Tom Holland in Romeo and Juliet on London's West End.

The actress told the outlet that her daughter Tallulah Willis found Pilaf on Facebook during the COVID-19 pandemic. Willis then arranged for the dog to be flown from the pup's birthplace in Thailand to Los Angeles to live with Moore.

"She was meant to be with me, and I was meant to be with her," Moore lovingly told the outlet of Pilaf.

The Feud: Capote vs. The Swans star shared that she nicknamed the dog "the Little Mouse" – in reference to the pet's short stature – during one of their international trips to France, where she found that people had difficulty understanding the name Pilaf.

"So then she became Little Mouse, then the nickname became Mouseketeer because she's my sidekick," Moore explained.

In addition to France, the jet-setting dog has flown to Europe 14 times and has visited "Broadway shows, museums, the French Open, art openings, restaurants," with the Substance actress, who noted that Pilaf is a service dog, "so she's allowed to go everywhere."

Praising her dog, Moore added to Vogue she feels "so grateful and blessed that she's in my life" and that other people recognize the animal's unique traits.

Moore also told the outlet that Pilaf is the best-trained of her nine dogs and "doesn't have any bad habits."

A proud pet mom, Moore shared the dog's Dogue cover on Instagram in an Aug. 14 post.

"Pilaf is a Vogue cover girl! Well, Dogue... but it still counts. Such a fun shoot and proud mom moment," the post's caption read.

Several celebrities left supportive comments, with Willis calling Moore a "proud mama" and Michelle Pfeiffer saying that she's "dying" at the cover.
