How Kristen Stewart Really Feels About Her Dogs

11/05/2012 at 06:00 PM EST

There's a very special someone living with Kristen Stewart in the $2.1 million house she recently purchased: her dog, Bernie.

"I adopted Bernie when she was a bit older, so I feel like she's kind of a roommate," Stewart, 22, promoting The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn – Part 2, tells Vh1.

In contrast, her other dog, a rescue named Bear whom she seems to share with on-again boyfriend Robert Pattinson, continues to bring out her maternal instincts.

"Bear is my child," she reiterates. "I raised him. He was handed to me through a car window with one hand."



And with Max the cat presumably still sharing living quarters with Stewart, it seems like the actress has quite the animal house on her hands.
