Sabrina Carpenter has had a monumental couple of years, dominating the charts taking her Short n’ Sweet tour worldwide — but even a global pop icon needs a soft place to land after a sold-out show. For the “Espresso” singer, that comfort comes in the form of her two beloved pups. While fans are busy gearing up for her Grammys performance, pet parents may be more interested in Sabrina’s 2 pups, who have become celebrities in their own right.
While some fans might assume the newer pup takes the lead, the true heart of the family is Sabrina Carpenter’s dog Goodwin. Now 14 years old, Goodwin is a lovable mix of Maltese, Yorkshire Terrier, Lhasa Apso, and Chihuahua who has been with Sabrina since she was just 13. He actually got his name from the short-lived TV series The Goodwin Games, which Sabrina starred in at the start of her career. Sabrina describes Goodwin as an empathetic, soulful companion who has witnessed her entire journey from a rising star to a household name. She said, “Goodwin is really empathetic. He just knows when you’re sick and not feeling well. His eyes are humanlike. He’s got a lot of emotion; he has a lot of stories.” Despite his age, he still maintains a playful side — though Sabrina jokingly calls him “Badwin” when he is getting into a bit of mischief.
Bringing a youthful spark to the household is Sabrina Carpenter’s dog Louie, a Cavapoo who joined the crew in 2024. While Goodwin represents the singer's roots, Louie is the companion of her superstar era. This curly-haired pup is known for being an incredible listener and has quickly adjusted to the rock star lifestyle, often traveling on the tour bus during the Short n’ Sweet tour. Though he hasn't quite seen a live performance yet — he usually hangs out on the bus or in the dressing room with Goodwin — he is already well-acquainted with the fast-paced life of Sabrina Carpenter pets. With his golden-brown curls and spirited energy, Louie is the perfect “Energeizer Bunny” to Goodwin’s seasoned, calm demeanor.
It is not just about the occasional photo op; Sabrina Carpenter treats her dogs like true members of her inner circle. From FaceTiming them with big news to ensuring they have custom kerchiefs for their "Dogue” debut, the bond is undeniable. Whether it is Goodwin’s empathetic nature or Louie’s spunky personality, these two dogs provide the grounding influence that helps one of the world's biggest stars stay true to herself. And as Sabrina said herself, “I like them better than literally everybody on the planet.”
