Lilly Allen, a British singer, has admitted that she returned an acquired puppy after it ate her family’s passports.
In a recent episode of her podcast ‘Miss Her?’, Allen revealed that she got the puppy named Mary during the coronavirus epidemic in 2020 but had to return it when it ate her passport and that of her two kids, Ethel, 12, and Marnie, 11.
The singer revealed that she and her husband, actor David Harbour, are considering adopting a new puppy.
She said: “We actually did adopt a dog already, but then it ate my passport and so I took her back to the home. She ate all three of our passports and they had our visas in and I cannot tell you how much money it cost me to get everything replaced because it was in COVID.
“And so, it was just an absolute logistical nightmare. Because the father of my children lives in England, I couldn’t get them back to see their dad for like four months, five months, because this f**king dog had eaten the passports. I just couldn’t look at her — I was like, ‘You’ve ruined my life.’
“Passports weren’t the only thing she ate, she was a very badly behaved dog and I really tried very hard with her but it just didn’t work out and the passports were the straw that broke the camel’s back, so to speak.”
While Allen resides in New York with movie star Harbour, she has two children from her previous marriage to Sam Cooper in the United Kingdom.
Meanwhile, the animal rights organization PETA has sent Allen an open letter imploring her not to buy another dog.
According to the organization, dogs “should never be treated as accessories to be discarded when they become inconvenient”.
