Jenelle Evans and David Eason get new puppies after dog killing controversy
07/15/2019“Teen Mom” star Jenelle Evans and her husband, David Eason, have two new dogs just two months after Eason, 31, allegedly shot and killed their French bulldog, Nugget.
On Sunday, Eason announced in a YouTube video that the couple got two Anatolian Shepherd dogs to help protect their chickens from hawks and crows.
“They are one of the most unique types of dog I have ever seen and have the best temperament and disposition of any dog I have ever owned,” he wrote in the video description. “They are a livestock guardian breed and do not mind eating and sleeping with all our animals on The Land!”
About six minutes and 30 seconds into the clip, Eason introduces one of the puppies named Buddy, explaining, “This is Buddy. Say ‘I’m the sweetest baby.’”
He later calls for the second puppy, Junior, and tells him, “Say ‘I’m very, very gentle. I’m a very gentle boy. I’m a gentle giant … we don’t even jump on people, and we’re very calm.”
On May 1, Eason alleged in a now-deleted Instagram post that Nugget attacked his 2-year-old daughter.
“You can hate me all you want but this isnt the first time the dog bit Ensley aggressively,” he said. “The only person that can judge weather (sic) or not a animal is a danger to MY CHILD is ME.”
A day later, the Columbus County Sheriff’s Office and Columbus County Animal Control confirmed to Page Six that a joint animal cruelty investigation was underway.
Despite the investigation, the Columbus Humane Society in Whiteville, NC, where the couple lives, told TMZ at the time that the allegations would not prohibit the pair from adopting dogs again because “animal control or law enforcement would have to provide documents showing why the couple’s home would be dangerous to a pet.”
The investigation concluded on July 11 and police said they found “no evidence to substantiate a further investigation.” No charges were filed.
The Columbus County Sheriff’s Office alleged in a lengthy press release that Evans, 27, filed a police report “for the publicity” and because she “did not know where her dog was,” but Nugget’s whereabouts still remain unknown.
Evans denied that she made up the story about her husband shooting their dog, but also did not give information about whether Nugget is still alive or not.
