Jack Antonoff came to his girlfriend Lena Dunham's defense amid the controversy surrounding her dog Lamby which she was forced to give away after she cared for him for four years. Dunham took the dog to a canine rehabilitation center due to behavioral issues allegedly stemming from abuse he suffered as a puppy.

Lamby has since stabilized and found a new home with a former trainer at the rehab center, but the original animal shelter where Dunham got the dog from was not really impressed. A rep for the shelter disputed the actress' claim, insisting that the animal never showed any signs of aggression while he was in their care and suggesting that she lied about the reason why she gave away her pet.

Antonoff took to Twitter to defend Dunham, "Nobody on earth cares for or loved lamby more than lena. after he bit her father and her twice we found a trainer who deals with aggressive dogs who he now lives happily with. was a deeply hard decision. shoutout to everyone who has an opinion on this and didn't live with us the past 4 years!"

Amid the doggie drama, the couple was spotted walking their poodles in New York City together.
