Johnny Depp's dogs, Boo and Pistol, leave Australia for flight home to US after breaching quarantine rules

Two pet dogs owned by Hollywood star Johnny Depp have been flown out of Australia.
Agriculture Minister Barnaby Joyce made the announcement on Friday night in a simple tweet: "Dogs gone."

An official media statement later said an officer from the Agriculture Department escorted the dogs — Boo and Pistol — from the mansion where Depp was staying on the Gold Coast to the airport for their flight home.

"Two dogs that were brought into Australia without meeting our import requirements have now been exported back to their country of origin," Mr Joyce said in the statement.

"The department issued the necessary export documentation and correspondence to the relevant veterinary authority to facilitate the repatriation of the dogs.
"All costs associated with returning the dogs were met by the owners."
