New Delhi, Jan 14 : Jennifer Aniston has revealed that she had bad experiences with her poodle pal in her younger days.

The 39-year-old pet lover, who shares the screen with a golden retriever in her new movie ''Marley and Me'', said that her first dog hated her, reports the China Daily.

She said: "My first pet was Demetri, a white poodle. But he did not like me much because I would always pull on its tail. But I was three, I thought he was a toy."

However, now the former ''Friends'' star is much nicer to her current furry friend, corgi-terrier cross-breed Norman.

She said: "There''s no dog like him. He''s just a person in a furry outfit. I don''t even know how to describe him.

"He''s a wise old man who could, with a look, with one stare, could crush me. He''s a laser light beaming into my soul." (ANI)
