Reality TV star and former glamour model Katie Price has hit back after an online petition calling for her to be banned from owning animals for life hit 20,000 signatures this week. The petition was started last year and has received an influx of new backers after she was pictured with her tiny new puppy, Captain.
The Mirror reports that Katie shared a picture of herself holding her new pet on Instagram last week and was immediately met with suspicion. Comments included: "Poor dog, being held terribly!"
"That poor dog, being used like an accessory," was another comment. In 2020, Katie's Alsatian, Sparkle, was hit by a car after it escaped from her house and ran into the street.
