Charlie
Celine Dion’s dog Charlie is a yellow lab. Her and her brother Bear joined Celine on tour throughout the states, but she refused to quarantine them for the global stops on her world tour so she sent the pups home to her three boys. “We got her when she was 7 weeks old,” said Celine Dion. “[We are] so in love with Charlie. I have to say, ‘Stop with the treats! She’s going to be huge!’ We love Charlie extremely.”
Bear
Bear is a yellow lab, just like his sister Charlie. It’s unclear when Bear joined the Dion family but it was sometime after Charlie in 2010. The family must have realized how amazing yellow labs are, and opted to get a second! Bear has toured around with Celine Dion.
Lionel
Lionel was a pet rat owned by Celine Dion’s son. He was a gift for his ninth birthday, so we are assuming that Lionel has since passed, though he could still be around. The rat was named after the rat in Disney’s Cory in the House. “He’s got two homes, this rat,” said Celine Dion. One was his regular cage and the other was his deluxe home, which features a wheel and slides. “I said, ‘If I have to be a rat, I want that playground.’ It’s amazing!”
