Made in Chelsea star Miles Nazaire has come under fire after revealing he rehomed his dog Rocky because he's too busy to look after him.
The 29-year-old says he's "not a bad person" and that it was a "really, really tough decision".
Some fans criticised Miles for treating Rocky as "disposable" while others praised him as "selfless" for rehoming him.
The Dogs Trust says the number of pets being rehomed is at a record high but that people shouldn't be judged for it.
Miles, who also appeared on Dancing on Ice last year, told his followers he broke down while travelling for a work event, realising he couldn't keep his pet.
"With TV and content creation, your life is up and down most days and Rocky definitely felt that.
"I don't know if I could handle it anymore and it just wasn't fair on him. I was always travelling."
Miles says he got Rocky at a "weird" time when he was "feeling quite lonely" only to realise later he couldn't properly look after him.
In a video shared on TikTok and Instagram, he admitted some people may think he's selfish but that he found comments that he "abandoned" his dog upsetting.
"Realistically I don't owe anyone anything but I wanted to clear things up because I'm not a bad person, I loved my dog and he loved me."
Miles says Rocky's been adopted by a family in Somerset and "he is so much happier being in a big field [with] people he loves".
