Lily Allen has said she returned a puppy she adopted during the coronavirus pandemic because it ate her family’s passports.
The Smile singer said she and her husband David Harbour are considering adopting a new puppy, but shared she had already tried it once and “I took her back to the home”.
Allen said on her Miss Me? podcast that getting a dog is “a hell of a commitment,” and added the puppy she adopted in 2020 ate her passport as well as those of her two daughters, Ethel, 12, and Marnie, 11.
While Allen lives in New York with the Stranger Things star, her two children are from a previous marriage to Sam Cooper in the UK.
She said on the podcast: “[The dog] 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 absolutely logistical nightmare.
“And 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****ing dog had eaten their passports.
“I just couldn’t look at her. I was like, ‘You’ve ruined my life’.”

Allen added the dog – which they called Mary and posted on an Instagram account they made for her – ate other belongings, and said “she was a very badly behaved dog”.
“It just didn’t work out and the passports was the straw that broke the camel’s back so to speak,” she added.
