Russell Crowe’s girlfriend Britney Theriot collects their new puppy in a private jet after their previous dog was hit by a truck
Russell Crowe has revealed that his girlfriend Britney Theriot took a private jet to pick up their new puppy Ezekiel to make sure he arrived safely at 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 extra careful with Ezekiel.
Crowe said on The Kyle and Jackie O Show on Friday that Britney fell instantly in love with the puppy after seeing his picture online and asked if she could fly out and buy him.
“I’m dealing with Britney, whose grief was so great that I put her on a little plane and sent her to the dog, then she picked him up and came home,” Crowe told the hosts.
“I know I look a bit of a tos*er, but it’s what I have to do now to help Britney.”

Fortunately, the trip home went smoothly and now the Crowe family is working hard to welcome the adorable dog into their household.
He added that they were so devastated by Louis’ tragic passing that they eased the grieving process by adopting an identical puppy, which he brought to the KIIS FM studio.
“This is Ezekiel. Say hello to everyone,” he said, lifting the excited black and white spaniel onto his lap during a video interview.

Ezekiel, another Papillon, looked exactly like the last Russell puppy he owned with Britney, all having the same facial markings and colors.
“At first we both thought, ‘Well, he’s irreplaceable.’ We put so much emotion into that little dog, and then he died just as tragically as he did,” he said.
“The only way we could really prevent that from going so fast was to get another puppy. The sadness is still there.’

Russell and Britney’s beloved puppy Louis passed away suddenly at just 16 months old.
The movie star posted a photo of the Papillon on Twitter in March and captioned it with some heartbreaking words.
‘This is Louis. 16 months old. Small, cheeky, brave. 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 burst into tears over the dog’s death during his emotional performance on The Kyle and Jackie O Show.
