A source told The Sun: “Katie is well aware that there’s strong feelings towards her and pet ownership. The pup is still too young to leave the house, but Katie is keen to keep Tank on the down low for now.
“She was heartbroken after Blade’s death and is determined to keep Tank safe. In time, it could grow into her new protection dog and fill the void left by Blade.

“Katie has always lived by her own rules and she’s adamant she’ll prove her critics wrong and give Tank a loving home.”
Over the years, Katie has come under fire for the deaths of a number of pets which led to a petition being signed by over 35,000 people to try to ban her from owning any more.
Unfortunately, the star has lost dogs, a horse, and even a chameleon over the past six years.
