Los Angeles, California (AHN) -- An agency for pets called Hollywood Paws have been sued by more than a dozen owners of a Rottweiler and other dogs for not making their pooches into stars. They claim that the firm had charged them tens of thousands of dollars but failed to procure film and television auditions for their pets. "I lost a lot of money," said Rachel Armstrong, owner of Goliath the Rottweiler. Armstrong said she thinks her dog has the "cool" factor that could get him into music videos. She paid almost $2,000 to the agency for training. Hollywood Paws provides training for media such as directing a pooch or cat to crawl, freeze or scratch on command. On its Web site, the company warns: "Completing these courses won't guarantee that your house pet will become a screen pet." The firm also manages a talent agency and calls itself "a way to effectively link animal actors and studio trainers with professionals in the entertainment industry looking for new talent." Hollywood Paws owner Larry Lionetti says he never guaranteed acting jobs, although he added some of the animals had gotten spots in commercials. "Everybody knows down in your town that there are actors and actresses waiting on tables until a part comes along," he said. "Who in L.A. doesn't know this?"
