Russell Crowe’s friend Britney Theriot picks up her new puppy on a private jet after her previous dog was hit by a truck
Russell Crowe has revealed that his girlfriend Britney Theriot used a private jet to pick up their new pup, Ezekiel, to ensure he got safely to their home.
The couple tragically lost their 16-month-old Papillon puppy Louis in March after he was hit by a truck. So Russell, 59, said they were being extra careful with Ezekiel.
Crowe said on Friday’s Kyle and Jackie O Show that Britney fell in love with the pup immediately after seeing his photo online and asked if she could fly to buy him.
“I’m dealing with Britney, whose grief was so deep that I put her on a small jet and sent her to the dog, then she picked him up and came home,” Crowe told the hosts.
“I know it makes me look a bit like an idiot, but it’s about what I need to do now to help Britney.”

Luckily, the journey home went smoothly and now the Crowe family are working hard to welcome the adorable dog into their household.
He added that they were so devastated by Louis’ tragic death that they eased the grieving process by sourcing an identical puppy, which he brought to the KIIS FM studio.
“This is Ezekiel. “Greetings everyone,” he said as he cradled the excited black and white spaniel on his lap during a video interview.

Ezekiel, also a Papillon, appeared to be a spitting image of Russell’s last puppy, which he owned with Britney, with the same features and color.
“At first we both thought, ‘Well, he’s irreplaceable.’ “We made that little dog feel so much and then he passed away in an equally tragic way,” he said.
“The only way to really prevent this was to get another puppy.” The sadness is still there.’

Russell and Britney’s beloved puppy Louis died suddenly at just 16 months old.
The movie star posted a photo of the papillon to Twitter in March, captioning it with some heartbreaking words.
“This is Louis. 16 months old. Tiny, cheeky, bold. He won my heart. Unfortunately, today, on the second anniversary of my father’s death, he was hit by a truck,” he wrote.
The Proof of Life actor then broke down in tears over the dog’s death during his emotional appearance on The Kyle and Jackie O Show.
