Lena Dunham reveals she gave up her ‘beloved’ dog Lamby

Lena Dunham is opening up about giving away her dog Lamby.

The Girls creator shared a heartbreaking Instagram post about why she gave up the pet, explaining that the abuse he suffered earlier in life caused issues that she felt became too difficult and “dangerous” to live with.

“Last March, after four years of challenging behavior and aggression that could not be treated with training or medication or consistent loving dog ownership, Lamby went to live at an amazing professional facility in Los Angeles @matt_thezendog where an awesome person named @therealdanishay (who is educated in a rescue dog’s specific trauma) loves him so hard,” she wrote.

“Lamby suffered terrible abuse as a pup that made having him in a typical home environment dangerous to him and others- we needed to be responsible to ourselves, our neighbors and especially our beloved boy.”

She added: “Jack and I will miss him forever but sometimes when you love something you have to let it go (especially when it requires tetanus shots and stitches.)”

Lena told her fans that she will speak further about her decision at some point, and said that she has had to learn to forgive herself.

The actress, writer and director thanked her best friend Jenni Konner for always lending an ear and her boyfriend Jack Antonoff “for loving him even when he ruined floors and couches and our life. Jack knows what Lamby means to me and he let me come to the decision in my own time even when it made his days challenging.”

Lena concluded her post by saying that she now has two pet poodles, Susan and Karen, who she will “cherish deeply”, and urged anyone in a similar situation to look into rehoming instead of giving an animal to a shelter.
