Lily Allen is being slammed for returning her dog to an animal shelter for “bad behavior.”
On Thursday, Allen took to her “Miss Me?” podcast to share that her and David Harbour’s family puppy, Mary, had been taken back to the animal shelter. Harbour and Allen adopted Mary through Animal Haven in 2021, per Page Six.
“We actually did adopt a dog together already,” she said. “But then it ate my passport, so I took it back to the home.”
Allen, who has two daughters with ex Sam Cooper, noted, “She ate all three of our passports.”
They had our visas in [there], and I can’t tell you how much it cost to get everything replaced,” Allen said. “It was in COVID, so it was just an absolute logistical nightmare.”
The English singer continued, “The father of my children lives in England. I couldn’t get them back to see their dad for, like, four months [or] five months because this f–king dog had eaten the passports.”
Cooper and Allen share daughters Ethel, 12, and Marnie, 11.
Allen explained that Cooper did not allow her daughters to take Harbour’s last name on their replacement documents, which made her form a resentment against the puppy.
She “couldn’t look at” the dog who “ruined [her] life.”
“The passports weren’t the only thing she ate. She was a very badly behaved dog,” Allen added.
Fans flocked to social media to share their opinions on Allen “laughing” about returning Mary to a shelter
Dogs returned to shelters often become harder to rehome and are at higher risk of being euthanized,” one user wrote on X, formely known as Twitter. “Training dogs is easy. Dogs are NOT ‘badly behaved’ – they are ‘untrained’ by the humans that are responsible for them. This is a sad listen. Shame on you, Lily Allen. Shame.”
Another user pointed out that the problem hadb’t been the dog.
