Eva Mendes will not subject her pet to anything she wouldn't do on herself. 

The actress appeared on The Late Show with David Letterman last night and while talking about her beloved "attack dog," a Belgian Malinois named Hugo, Mendes made a shocking revelation.

"All he wants to do is prove his love to me, you know, all he wants to do is kill for me. It's so sweet," the star said, but added that she doesn't necessarily want him to kill any critters for her, so she uses something to help her out.

"I'd feel terrible if he hurt a little thing so I try to get in there and I use—people always get mad at me for this—but I use a shock collar on him," Eva admitted, "and I have the remote. But I've tried it on myself at all levels. I swear!"

She went on to explain that collar levels range from 0-110 (yikes!), and although it goes around her dog's neck, she tested it on another part of her body, and tried her best to explain the sensation.

"I do not do it on my neck. I tested it on my arm. It's more than a tingle, it's way more than tingle. Oh, remember when we were kids and we had that jokey thing where you shake hands and ahh that thing? It's like that but intensified the higher you go with the levels."
