Stone, 18, emerged the victor over other celebrity canine lovers such as
Charlize Theron, Ashley Olsen and John O'Hurley for the annual title, the magazines said in a news release.
Hilton was the overwhelming choice for the finger-wagging title based on her fickle treatment of her Chihuahua, Tinkerbell.
"Our readers felt Ms. Hilton's dog-parenting skills left a lot to be desired," said Leslie Padgett, editor of The New York and Hollywood Dog Magazines. "First she loses Tinkerbell, then she ditches her for a cuter dog, then replaces that dog with a ferret, then a Kinkajou monkey and then, I gather, a goat. Recently Tinkerbell was spotted back in Paris' arms. But how long will she be in favor this time?"
