So I'm working with Jennifer on that, and a soundtrack album, and so I'm excited about that."

Jennifer named her white German shepherd dog after the country music singer

Parton replies, "Oh, I'm very touched when people have known me so long that I am an inspiration, but you really know when you've got a true fan with someone like Jennifer Aniston says, 'I named by dog 'Dolly Parton' ' she's got a dog and I say, 'Is that a compliment?' seriously I asked Jennifer the other day if she still has that dog named Dolly, and Jen said, 'Yeah she's only 7' or something like that and she calls it the whole thing Dolly Parton. So anyhow it always touches me to know that some of these people are fans and that I've touched them in whatever way I have and it makes me feel good."
