Actor Johnny Depp in Big Trouble for bringing Dog to Australia

Actor Johnny Depp’s in the dog house with Australian authorities…after bringing his pet pooches into the country without putting them through quarantine. He’s been given a deadline to return Yorkshire terriers Pistol and Boo back to the U.S and bring them back in the proper manner.

Australia’s Agriculture Minister says it’s that or the dogs die. “Mr Depp has to either take his dogs back to California or we’re going to have to euthanize them. He’s not got about 50 hours left to remove the dogs. He can put them on the same charter jet he flew out on and fly them back out of our nation.”

Depp jetted in with the dogs on a private plane, by-passing quarantine, when he returned to Australia from the U.S. following treatment for a hand injury.

The animals were spotted at the Gold Coast house he’s renting while filming the latest installment of the blockbuster Pirates of the Caribbean series. Officials went to the house after a tip-off.
