Jennifer Aniston keeps the ashes of her dead dogs on her mantle piece.

The 'Marley and Me' actress was renowned for having a close relationship with her former pet pooches, and now has the remains of three of her dogs on display.

Speaking in an interview with America's GQ Magazine, she said: ''We have one white shepherd [Dolly], but I had another dog [Norman] who died last year. We actually have three dead dogs on our mantel right now. The whole mantel is dead dogs. Their ashes. It's kind of morbid.''

Jennifer - who is currently dating actor Justin Theroux - had a tattoo of her dog Norman's name on the inside of her right foot after he died last year, but has since adopted a new pet, believed to be a shepherd mix from the Utah Friends Animal Society.

Discussing the death of Norman and her consequent inking in 2011, she said: ''That's my dog. My baby who just passed away. I never thought that would ever happen. It's just my way to pay homage to him - forever.''
