Brad and Angelina have found a new gaff in Dublin*

*It’s been a bit of a ruff time for them.

THINGS HAVE BEEN woof for Brad and Angelina lately.

There has been speculation about their weight, rumours that Brad didn’t look as groomed as he used to, and ‘friends’ reporting that Angelina hadn’t been seen looking happy in a long time.

But things are on the pup – sorry, up – for the attractive couple.

Brangelina were among two of the nine dogs rescued by the DSPCA from a puppy farm in Dublin 15 yesterday.

Nine dogs were taken into care by the animal welfare charity after a month-long investigation into the puppy farm. The DSPCA said most of the dogs were in generally good condition but some were underweight due to lack of food.

The two are now on their way to a new home and are looking forward to spending some quality time together.

No animals were harmed in the making of this post but several puns were tortured.

    Poor creatures. It sickens me to see the way we treat animals in this country.
    As for the idiots out buying puppies for their kids at xmas and then dumping them when they realise puppies grow up and are demanding and my cause inconvenience at times.

    These supposed “adults” then go and dump the poor dog either at a pound or on the side of the road. The animal shelters around the country are at breaking point. Volunteers cannot do much more than they already are doing. A small bit of personal responsibility would go a long way.

    Have a dog/cat ? then get it neutered.

    Only a sociopath would dump a dog at the side of the road.
