T-V show Actress Breaks Down In Front OF Audience

comedian Ellen DeGeneres broke down in tears on her own show when she revealed that a dog she had adopted, then given to her hairdresser, had been reclaimed and re-homed by the group that originally had the dog.

DeGeneres explained that due to having cats in her home, the dog did not seem to settle in well after she had adopted him. She gave the dog to her hairdresser.

When the rescue centre in question Mutts and Moms, found out about the decision to re-home the dog, they took action and reclaimed the dog, before re-homing it with a family of their choosing. It is believed that the contract between the veteran comedian and the rescue agency stated that if she was unable to keep the dog, she would return it to the rescue. The hairdresser's two children were reportedly distraught at having their new puppy removed from their home.

Ellen explained her sombre mood to the audience on her show

“I’m a human being and I have bad days and I have sad days. But when I walk out here and you all cheer and when you’re here to dance, you’re here to laugh, and I know I make people happy it changes my mood. I come out here and I can do anything because of the energy I get. But today is a hard day for me. Today is bad. I am not capable of coming out and pretending to be funny and ‘on’ when things are going so terribly wrong right now. I’m so sorry - I’m just not able to pretend.”

“Well, I guess I signed a piece of paper that says if I can’t keep Iggy, it goes back to the rescue organisation, which is not someone’s home, which is not a family. These two little girls had bonded to the dog. I thought I did a good thing. I tried to find a loving home for the dog because I couldn’t keep it. I was trying to do a good thing.

Because I did it wrong, those people went and took that dog out of their home, and took it away from those kids. I feel totally responsible for it and I’m so sorry. I’m begging them to give that dog back to that family. I just want the family to have their dog. It’s not their fault, it’s my fault. I shouldn’t have given the dog away. Just please give the dog back to those little girls. I’m sorry I didn’t call you. I’m sorry I did the wrong thing. Just give it back to the family. Please, please, please."

Owners of Mutts and Moms Marina Batkis and Vanessa Chekroun had for DeGeneres have reportedly received death threats since the show screened and communicating through a lawyer that the dog will not be returned.
