AceShowbiz - Lily Allen's recent confession on her podcast has ignited a social media storm. The singer revealed that she returned an adopted puppy that, according to her, had ruined her life by eating crucial travel documents. Fans and critics alike aren't holding back in their judgments.

During Thursday's episode of her "Miss Me?" podcast, Allen, 39, confessed to returning a puppy named Mary to an animal shelter. "We actually did adopt a dog together already," the singer said, referring to herself and her husband, David Harbour. The couple had adopted the dog in 2021.

Allen explained that the dog destroyed all three of their passports, which contained their visas for international travel. "It was in COVID, so it was just an absolute logistical nightmare,” she said.

The incident prevented her from taking her daughters, Ethel, 12, and Marnie, 11, to see their father, Sam Cooper, who lives in England, for several months. "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."

The pet's antics appear to have been the catalyst for Allen's decision to return it. "The passports weren't the only thing she ate. She was a very badly behaved dog."

However, this revelation has sparked considerable backlash from fans and social media users. On X (formerly Twitter), one user wrote, "Shame on you. Dogs are NOT 'badly behaved.' They are 'untrained' by the humans that are responsible for them."

Another commented, "On the bright side at least that poor pup won't have to tolerate you anymore." The sentiment was echoed by many others who criticized Allen for not putting in more effort to train the dog properly.

Rehoming dogs, especially rescues, can lead to issues like separation anxiety and can create difficulties for the animal in finding a new, permanent home. Critics argue that Allen's decision was driven by convenience rather than necessity. "Rehoming a dog, especially one who was a rescue, can have seriously negative effects on the pooch," highlighted one concerned individual.

Despite the criticism, Allen is undeterred and has plans to adopt another dog, a Chihuahua mix, which her children want to name Jude Bellingham. The incident has further highlighted the complexities of pet ownership and the responsibilities it entails, making it a ripe topic for public debate.

Time will tell how Allen's next foray into pet ownership will unfold, but one thing is clear: this candid revelation has struck a chord with animal lovers and critics alike.
