Demi Moore is living it up in Greece with her adorable Chihuahua, Pilaf, and close friends Andrea and Athanasia Steggou. But it’s Pilaf who’s really working the camera.
The tiny pup, who’s become a celebrity in his own right, recently made waves as part of Vogue’s digital cover series—alongside other star pets like Glen Powell‘s Brisket and Billie Eilish’s Shark.
The actress’s beloved furball, who even accompanied Demi Moore to Tom Holland‘s “Romeo and Juliet” on London’s West End, has been her companion since her daughter Tallulah Willis discovered him on Facebook during the pandemic.

Over the weekend, Demi Moore, who wore cut-off jeans, a simple black tank, and sunglasses, was spotted cuddling up with Pilaf while vacationing in Greece.

“Look, I don’t have any super big secret,” she told W Magazine of her outlook on appearances and confidence. “But I definitely think beauty starts on the inside. You can do anything you want to the outside, but if the inside isn’t looking or feeling good, then I don’t know if anything you do on the outside is going to be good enough.”

Demi Moore Enjoys Vacation With Close Friends
Demi Moore was spotted having a blast on her recent Greek vacation, joined by close friends Andrea and Athanasia Steggou. The trio was seen sharing laughs and relaxing together on a couch, making the most of their sunny getaway.
Of course, Pilaf was front and center, cuddling up on Moore’s chest. “I can take Pilaf everywhere. She’s literally been to Broadway shows, museums, the French Open, art openings, restaurants,” she told Vogue for a cover story last week. “She’s a service animal, so she’s allowed to go everywhere. She’s flown to Europe 14 times.”
“One of her best qualities is her instinctive sense of going to complete strangers like she has something to give them that they need,” she added.

Demi Moore Talks Companionship With Pilaf
The “A Few Good Men” star has long been known for her love of dogs. In a 2019 interview with WWD, she shared her thoughts on companionship.
“I hope that there is a partner in my future when it’s the right time,” she said. “I think we’re a communal species — we’re not supposed to be alone — although I’ve gotten very comfortable alone — me and my seven dogs.”
As she basked in the Greek sun with friends and her cherished pet Pilaf, whom she says is “literally the best trained of all of my dogs,” it’s clear that her love for animals remains a big part of her life.

What Is Pilaf’s Unusual Nickname?
When speaking to Vogue, the “Ghost” actress revealed that she sometimes calls her pup “Little Mouse.”
“Her name is Pilaf. I added ‘the Little Mouse’ because I was working in France and it was sometimes difficult to say ‘Pilaf’ and have it understood,” Moore explained. “Because she’s so tiny, I was referring to her as ‘Little Mouse’ and realized in French that is petite souris.”
“So then she became ‘Little Mouse,’ then the nickname became ‘Mouseketeer’ because she’s my sidekick, and then with all of her recent write-ups, we also nicknamed her ‘Mouse Couture.'”
Demi Moore Goes Everywhere With Her Pet Pup
Last week, Moore let Vogue Magazine in on a little secret.
“We almost got thrown out of the Sisi Museum in Vienna [until] I found her official card because I didn’t register her,” the actress said. “She saw ‘Romeo and Juliet’ with Tom Holland—loved it. She saw ‘Funny Girl’ and ‘Appropriate with Sarah Paulson.'”
“The most stressful was the very first show I took her to—which I wasn’t planning on, but I had to go straight to the airport and was traveling alone—which was the Versace show,” Moore recalled. “And I was so relieved because Pierpaolo [Piccioli] and his wife had their dog there.”
Moore, who adopted Pilaf during the COVID-19 pandemic, says she “feels so grateful and blessed that she’s in my life.”
