11 magg 2015 anni - PISTOL & BOO GROOMING PARLOUR Photos Posted On Social Media

Descrizione:

The dogs, Pistol and Boo, were taken to a grooming parlour. The owners posted photos on social media.

The Australian Government discovered the dogs had arrived without the correct paperwork and had not been declared upon arrival.

This is strictly against Australian bio-security laws.

BEN KING: During my employment with Mr Depp and Ms Heard in Australia, Ms Heard instructed me to take her and Mr Depp's dogs to a local groomer to be cared for over a weekend whilst they travelled. Over this weekend, the grooming staff posted a number of photographs of the dogs online. The publication of the dogs' presence in Australia alerted the authorities to the fact that Ms Heard had illegally smuggled the dogs into the country. In the immediate aftermath, Ms Heard complained about me to Mr Depp, who separately took me aside and told me that I had done nothing wrong and not to worry about this.
