2010-08-19 22:08:57 - Comedienne, children's book author and co-host of The View, Joy Behar is back on Animal Radio®.

(Animal Radio® Newsroom August 19, 2010) The charismatic comic pulls no punches when talking about her furry-family on this special national radio broadcast.

When Joy Behar isn't making us laugh, you might find her cuddled up with her Shitzu's. She says that the person who sold her the dogs said they were Shitzus, "but there's nothing Shitzu about them," she raves.

Joy lives in a tenement style setting. Family is apparently an important priority for the television host.

"My daughter and her husband share custody of two mutts (Gracie & Tallulah) and a cat that weighs as much as the dog," says Behar. "Benito (her cat) likes to wake me up out of a dead sleep at 5 in the morning."

Her pets roam

the house as if it were their own. She says despite what dog trainers say about letting your dog sleep in bed, her dogs are always welcome. "You can always find an marriage counselor that says 'don't let your husband in bed"
