Molly-Mae Hague and Tommy Fury have moved out of their flat following the tragic death of their dog, Mr Chai. The pair were left devastated after the Pomeranian puppy, which they imported from Russia, died just a week after they took him home due to medical problems.
In photos obtained by The Sun last week, the couple could be seen packing their belongings outside of their Manchester flat.
Now, Molly-Mae has posted on social media following a 'much needed break from [her] phone'. 'I don't want to dwell on the last couple of weeks but what I do want to say is thank you,' she wrote, sharing an image of new flat on Instagram. 'Thank you to every single person that has sent me such thoughtful messages asking me how I am and making sure I'm ok, it has meant the world to me. I've enjoyed a much needed break from my phone but I'm back now and ready to get stuck into some really exciting things I have coming up.'
After the pair left Love Island, Tommy moved into Molly’s apartment - but they then found an apartment to rent together. 'Also had a much needed change of location,' Molly added. 'Didn't realise how much I needed a fresh start.'
Earlier this month, the pair shared a video in which they explained Mr Chai's death, with Molly-Mae saying the autopsy revealed that the dog’s skull wasn’t fully developed, meaning part of his brain was exposed. The influencer also said he ‘didn't have a single white blood cell left in his body’ (meaning he couldn’t fight off any infections) and that his organs were enlarged.
The pair said in the video that they realised that something ‘wasn't right’ with Mr Chai after two days, so they took him to the vet - they were later shocked to discover that the dog had a seizure and died, with Molly saying that Tommy threw up due to shock.
However, Molly says, in hindsight, they would have opted for a rescue dog from the UK. ‘While we understand everyone's opinions about him being shipped over from Russia, you need to understand that this is not what made that baby dog pass away,’ she said. ‘That's not what made him die. He was going to die regardless. If we had the time again we would have got a dog from the UK or got a rescue dog from the UK.’
Tiffany Chihuahuas & Pomeranians, the company which reportedly imported the dog, said the pup was 'healthy' and that this had 'never happened before' in a statement. ‘Mr Chai was a healthy dog,’ the company wrote on Facebook. ‘I only work with trusted people and have a small network of reputable breeders who care for their dogs to the very highest standards and see animals as part of their family. I have rigorous processes in place to check animal health and the suitability of forever homes providing support and guidance for health and wellbeing throughout. I have worked with dogs my entire life and this has never happened before.’
