In a tale that proves some dogs are just too fetchin' much, Lily Allen returned her pandemic pup after it snacked on her family’s passports, claiming it ‘ruined my life’—one chew at a time.

In a twist that’s left even the most resilient of pet owners shaking their heads, Lily Allen has returned her misbehaving puppy after it devoured the family’s passports, complicating travel plans and family outings. The incident, described by Allen as the 'straw that broke the camel's back,' not only highlighted the challenges of pet ownership during a pandemic but also unleashed a logistical nightmare for renewing passports amidst COVID restrictions. As the Allen-Harbour household considers potential new furry friends, it seems their next pup might need to pass a rigorous chewing test.

Lily Allen, who has been navigating the challenges of pet ownership during the pandemic, found herself in a particularly precarious situation when her newly adopted puppy decided that the family's passports were prime chew toys. This bold culinary choice left her, along with her two daughters, Ethel and Marnie, in a bind, facing the prospect of replacing the eaten passports amidst COVID restrictions. Ultimately, the behavior of the puppy was described as very badly behaved, leading her to return it, expressing frustration and stating that the dog 'ruined my life' due to the passport incident.

Replacing the shredded documents proved to be nothing short of a bureaucratic circus. With ongoing COVID restrictions adding layers of complexity, Allen described the experience as a logistical nightmare. 'I never knew a puppy could turn into an international crisis so quickly,' she mused, revealing that her family’s desire for a relaxing vacation was swiftly replaced with the urgency of passport renewals. It’s almost as if they were living in a sitcom where the pets scheme against the humans, but without the laugh track.

The mischief of the puppy wasn’t limited to just the passports. Allen recounted further episodes of the canine's chaotic behavior that left the family questioning if they had welcomed home a dog or a tornado with fur. The phrase 'very badly behaved' was not just an understatement; it was the family's collective exasperation manifesting into something that deserved its own public service announcement.

In her podcast episode titled 'Miss Me?', Allen didn’t hold back her feelings about the situation. 'The dog ruined my life,' she lamented, humorously emphasizing that the canine’s antics had indeed pushed her to reconsider her pet choices. It wasn’t just about the passports; it was the accumulation of dubious decisions by a puppy who clearly saw family belongings as a buffet.

However, as with any good family drama, there might be hope on the horizon. Allen and her husband, David Harbour, have not sworn off dogs entirely. Rumors are rife that the couple is considering adopting a new puppy, perhaps one with a more refined taste in household items. Though, taking into account the recent escapade, one can only imagine the stringent requirements this pup will have to meet, including a thorough inspection of chew preferences and a personality that at no point includes shredding travel documents.

As they entertain the idea of expanding their family—this time on four legs instead of two—the couple is likely weighing the pros and cons of bringing a new puppy into their New York City home. Perhaps this time, they’ll choose a breed known for good behavior, like a retired library assistant or a therapy dog who specializes in relaxation techniques.

In the end, it's not just about whether the family can replace their passports or endure a few tantrums from a new puppy. It’s about embracing the delightful chaos that comes with being a family, a sentiment that Allen expressed poignantly before concluding the podcast. After all, every family has its quirks—even if they involve mischief-making pets with a predilection for valuable travel documents.
