ASPEN, CO  [Thursday Jul.13.2006]  /WMQT.com/ -- Mariah Carey, Nick Lachey and Snoop Dogg have gone to the dogs -- sort of.

The three artists are among the celebrities who have painted life-size statues of Labrador Retrievers for the Aspen Filmfest's "Best In Show" fundraiser.

The Labrador statues are currently on display in Aspen, Colorado, and will be auctioned off to the highest bidder on August 1 to raise money for Aspen Filmfest's education programs. A second auction will also take place online at CharityFolks.com on September 4th.

Other celebrities who painted dog statues for "Best In Show" include Johnny Depp, Joaquin Phoenix, Goldie Hawn, Jack Nicholson, Angelica Houston, Susan Sarandon, Kathy Bates, and Salma Hayek.
