The 39-year-old pop artist discussed the scenario on her podcast, Miss Me?, which she co-hosts with friend and co-presenter Miquita Oliver.

Earlier this week, she revealed that she and her husband, Stranger Things’ David Harbour, had acquired the puppy in New York, where they reside with their two daughters, Ethel (12) and Marine (11).

Allen, on the other hand, stated that after the dog ate her and her two daughters’ passports, she had to take the dog ‘back home’.

“She ate all three of our passports, which contained our visas. I can’t even begin to estimate the cost of replacing everything, given that it was a COVID-related incident. And so it was a whole logistical headache,” the ‘Smile’ singer explained.

According to Allen, her girls were unable to visit their father, Sam Cooper, who resides in England, for several months because the ‘f***ing dog had eaten the passports’.

She said, “I simply couldn’t look at her. I said, ‘You’ve wrecked my life.'”

Her revelation, however, drew much criticism, with one user labeling her an ‘irresponsible pet owner’.

Even PETA sent Allen a present in response to her declaring her intention to adopt another dog.

And now, the musician has replied to the criticism on Instagram.

She expressed, “Despite our diligent efforts and prolonged efforts, the passports proved to be the final obstacle.”

“Tabloids excluded this podcast segment from their stories about me ‘dumping my puppy’.”

The quote in question comes from a podcast episode in which Allen revealed that they had tried ‘very hard’ to train her before deciding to re-home her, saying, “She was a very badly behaved dog, and I tried very hard with her, but it just didn’t work out, and the passports were the straw that broke the camel’s back, so to speak.”

Allen added in her post: “People have been angrily reacting to a purposely twisted cobbling together of words meant to enrage people, and as a result, I’ve gotten some very awful comments, including death threats.

“On my social media platforms, I’ve seen some of the most horrible remarks, but I’m not shocked because that’s exactly what these stories aim to accomplish.

“I’m ok, but it has been a tough few days that have impacted me and my family.”

Allen also confirmed the dog’s name, Mary, and reported that her severe separation anxiety frequently caused her to act out, limiting her time alone to no more than ’10 minutes’ each day.

“We collaborated with the shelter from the moment we rescued her, and they recommended a behavioral specialist and a professional trainer.

“After many months and much deliberation, everyone agreed that our home was not the best fit for Mary.” We were acquainted with the individual who found her a new home, and it happened just 24 hours after her return.

“We couldn’t meet Mary’s needs, and her happiness and welfare were central to us making that decision, as difficult as it was.”

She concluded by asking, “Please cease acting on clickbait articles until you have done your due research.

“It’s all just so toxic, and I know we can do better.”
