Good news everybody, Lily Allen's dog's been found. You might not have been aware that Ms Allen's English bull terrier Maggie May had gone missing to start with, but it disappeared last week. It seems that the dog was stolen and then sold on to a man who bought it as a Christmas present for his sister.
Allen has updated thus on her MySpace: "I have the best news ever. Maggie May is back at home safe and sound. She is riddled with fleas, a bit sad and very thin, but that's not the point. I can't tell you how overjoyed I am to have her back, how grateful I am to everyone who has sent kind words and helped to find her".
Explaining how she got the dog back, she continued: "We received 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 didn't 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 a few minutes away from the main road. They did this, handed over the money and got Maggie back".
