Bye bye Depp's dogs

Published 15th May 2015

As we reported yesterday Johnny Depp's dogs could face being put down after they were illegally brought into Australia.

The country which has strict import laws had threatened to put the dogs down if they weren't removed from the county by Saturday.

We now understand that they will be returned to the US.

Depp who is living in Australia while he films the 5th Pirates of the Caribbean film bought the dogs into the country on his private jet without declaring them.

The plight of the Yorkshire Terriers, Boo and Pistol sparked a debate on Twitter with the hashtag #waronterrier calling on the Agriculture Minister to spare the lives of the two dogs.

It it now believed that the dogs will be sent back to the USA on a private jet today (Friday 15th May).
