Hes got these human eyes for sure, and I could picture my life with him.
Theyre very vocal and I thought this sounded really cool.
I knew I wanted to use it for something, so we made it the beginning of that song.
Billie and Shark, best friends forever.
Thats not to say Sharks contributions to Eilish and OConnells songwriting are always quite so melodic.
He likes to snore really loud and fart during our sessions, Eilish admits, laughing.
Very demure, very mindful.
Very demure, very mindful.
Hes such a good boy, so he loves being in the studio when I work, Eilish adds.
Hes so good with loud noises and overstimulation, he couldnt care less.
When posing for his Dogue shoot, Shark was able to learn from the best.
Go, Shark, go!
(Well, Dogue at least.)
I wish I could take him on my whole tour across the world.

Shark, in profile.
Shark is very loyal to me and sticks by my side wherever I go.
Even if I have a party, he follows me around into every single room I go.
He just always wants to be in the same room as me and I love that.

His loyalty is the best, but I love all of his qualities.

What is your full name?
Theres a toy called a flirt pole thats like a big giant cat toy.
Its a long pole with a rope and a little toy on the end of it.
My mom uses it like a fishing rod and I run around her and jump.
I love it so much.
Anything my mom eats and then gives me a piece of.
I like all foods.
I literally cant do anything else if I see a squirrel.
Its like the world disappears, my mom disappears, my friends disappear.
I cant focus on anything else.
It’s literally like everybodys gone and its just me and the squirrel.
Also, I cry at every closed door.
Lose yourself in those ocean eyes.
And Ill squeal while Im doing that and spin and spin and spin.
If you could talk, what would your catchphrase be?
Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey!
What is your humans worst habit?
My mothers worst habit is forgetting to give me all the treats.
