Britney Spears has made a passionate declaration of her approval of dogs – even through she explained she has been attacked by some pooches in the past.
The 40-year-old pop singer says she wasn’t put off from approaching the animals despite two unfortunate encounters in the past.
Sharing her experiences with dogs, and her devotion to the animals, the singer revealed she was once left bleeding after being bicker by a spaniel – while a second incident saw a pair of jeans get torn open.
Britney shared her stories via Instagram – which she recently deleted and then reinstated – with the tale being written out at length and shared as text slides.
And during her essay, she also suggested that she thinks dogs in particular are divine animals sent from the heavens to act as “angels” on earth.
She wrote: “Thank you for dogs! Dog spelled backwards is God… not sure any correlation but I do think that dogs are extraordinary animals!
“Although I’ve been attacked by 2 dogs in my life… I am still drawn to them!”
She then went into detail about the two incidents that saw her being savaged by animals.
She wrote: “The dogs that attacked me weren’t big dogs, one a cocker spaniel and the other I’m not sure of the breed… the cocker spaniel literally out of nowhere just scratched, bit and barked until I had to go on the hood of a car and crawl up backwards on my back!
“I didn’t go to the hospital… I just remember being in the tub with blood everywhere and it stung so bad! I was 8.
“The next time I was on a double date with my new jeans at 16 and I went to the door to get my friend and this black dog came out of no where… it didn’t attack like the other dog but he just came up to me and bit a hole in my and a hole in my jeans.
“Ever since then I have to get to know animals before I really approach them.”
She then went on to discuss the various dogs that she has owned over her lifetime saying that one named Angel “was God to me” when she was a child.
She wrote: “It was the most beautiful animal I’ve ever seen in my life… I was 5 when I had him… I love dogs, I just don’t trust other people’s!”
She then went on to praise her latest dog, named Sawyer, who she described as “a gift from God!”
Britney explained that she fell for the pooch at first sight and slept with him by her side for the firs two nights that she owned him.
She revealed that he did bite her once, but she forgave him – and then developed her tale of caring for pets into an analogy for the hell she lived under while under a conservatorship.
She wrote: “He literally shows a protective side I wish I would have seen in my so called ‘protective system’! I mean yes… I’ve felt totally safe with my security… it’s their job to dow hat they’re told! I mean if you see anything suspicious… 72 people you don’t know in and out of a house weekly… take your car away… animal…
“Cold blooded criminals are never even forced to go through those measures! All for what?”
She went on to state her conservatorship has left her feeling unable to trust people.
