ORANGE COUNTY, CALIFORNIA: During the most recent episode of 'Real Housewives of Orange County' Season 18, Alexis Bellino was seen purchasing a dog that bore a striking resemblance to her fellow castmate Shannon Beador's beloved pet, Archie. Both women have golden retrievers and Alexis has named her new furry friend Biscuit.
Fans of the show are now accusing Alexis of imitating Shannon by getting a dog that bears a striking resemblance to Shannon's own furry friend. The similarities between the two pets have sparked controversy among viewers, with many pointing out the apparent copycat behavior.

'RHOC' star Shannon Beador's dog Archie recently had a scary experience
In June 2024, Shannon Beador was left devastated after her treasured golden retriever, Archie, went through a harrowing ordeal. Shannon shared on June 10 on Instagram that her dog, Archie, was bitten by another dog during a walk.
"Archie was bit by another dog when we went on a walk today. The dog was enclosed in his front patio, but started to bark and stuck his face out to bite Archie through the slats in the fence," she penned alongside two snaps of her furry friend Archie.
"It happened within seconds and I tried to pull Archie away. The owner said that maybe I walked too close to his fence. I was on the public sidewalk. Archie has never been in a dog fight in all of his 8 years!!" she added.
The Bravo housewife concluded, "Word of advice to people walking their dogs in Corona del Mar. Some dogs can attack yours through their own fence. Archie has been checked by the vet and is on antibiotics for the wounds. He will be ok. Love him beyond!!!"
