Lee Andrews' ex-wife Dina Taji has expressed concerns about sending the dog he bought with Katie Price back to the UK. Dina took in the £2,000 pomsky after Lee was jailed for the second time this year.
Dog's Situation
Katie and Lee signed a contract to purchase a male pomsky—a cross between a Pomeranian and Siberian Husky—earlier this month. With both parents unavailable, Dina stepped in to care for the animal. However, she now worries about sending the dog to 'the person' in the UK, without naming Katie directly.
Dina's Concerns
Dina told followers on social media: 'I want to hear your opinion and anything that you would like to share with me regarding this dog that I have with me right now.' She added: 'Because honestly, I'm receiving a lot of messages and I'm starting to find things out that I didn't know before. I had no idea.'
In recent years, Katie has faced criticism for her treatment of animals, with five dogs, a horse, and a chameleon dying in her care. PETA even offered her £5,000 to stop keeping pets.
Rescuing the Dog
Dina explained how she came to save the animal: 'When I found out this person got locked up, the first thing that came to mind was, "Oh my God, where's this dog? Okay, I need to save this dog now. This person is in jail."' She continued: 'Immediately, I got the dog. Okay, I reached out. Where's the dog? I'm gonna take it. I'm gonna make sure it's safe. Now I'm receiving a lot of messages, and new information is coming to me surfacing that I should not send this dog to the UK.'
Dina, who also rescues cats, said she will always do what's best for the animal. She added: 'The person who wants me to send the dog to the UK, I don't know them. I don't know them.' She plans to consult the municipality for advice on the best move.
Previous Meeting
Katie and Dina previously met in Dubai, where Katie said: 'Women stick together, and I came to Dina about one of the cases because I thought, is Dina involved? Then obviously we had a cup of tea as girls do, we've had a long chat and that's for us to know and for you to find out in the future. On that note I'm glad we met.' Dina added: 'Just out of respect, if there's anything I wanted to share and kind of warn her about anything it would be woman-to-woman, face-to-face.'
The Mirror has approached Katie and Dina for comment.
