Dognapper sells Lily Allen her dog back?

Lily Allen & dog

Yay sort of! The other day we found out Lily's dog went missing. Today she wrote this good-like news on her MySpace:

Maggie May is back as you know , and I said I'd let you know some more details . I didnt want to go into to much detail but the rumours and allegations have started so here goes .

Last night we recieved a call from a man in the Leytonstone area . He said he had Maggie and had bought her as a present for his sister , he didnt really want to give her back but was persuaded by the reward . Some friends went to meet him a couple of hours later to see if it was Maggie . Luckily it was , so they left to get the money in order to get her back . They came back and were asked to follow the man and his two friends in a car for a few minutes away from the main road , they did this , handed over the money and got Maggie back . Once Maggie had been handed over the young men and woman offered to sell more puppies to my friends , which made us realise that these people were obviously in the business of moving dogs .

Now I feel guilty for having given these people money and contributing to their cruel business but I love that dog and felt I had no choice .

People have been speculating that because maggie was thin and had fleas she must have run away , MAGGGIE was tied up and in her cage in the back of a van and could not have escaped , she was stolen . The fact that she was very thin , makes me think she was mistreated ( ie not fed ) and the fact she was infested with fleas implies she was kept with other ( maybe stolen ) animals .

Im not going into anymore detail as this is now a matter for the RSPCA and the police . Thank you again to everyone who has helped me retrieve maggie . This has been an awful experience and people who are accusing me of neglecting my dog in some way , are distressing and hurtful , I hope this clears up the issue .

Lily

Even though I couldn't care less about her music, it's nice to know she got her dog back. Pets are family.

What the hell?

Despite Lily affecting her hip little wannabe Jamaican/South London accent, I thought she was from an upper class family in North London? Did she move to council flats in order to connect with the streets or something? This is like the height of shady.

Hmm, well I guess the fact that she paid this dude instead of cracking him with a tire iron really shows her true (bourgeois) colors. Time to move back to Hampstead, lovey.

Where's Lady Sov when you need her? Ha ha.

So basically her dog was kidnapped & held for ransom?

Well, at least she got her back.

My thoughts exactly!! I wish Animal Planet would have filmed the exchange - it would have been great publicity for her in the States.
