Perth lifestyle influencer Kyree Harvey has sparked debate after sharing she re-homed her family dog, Socks.
The 35-year-old was forced to release a statement to her 235,000 Instagram followers after she was bombarded by messages asking about her dog’s whereabouts.
The Aussie doodle puppy had been a permanent fixture on Harvey's Instagram account since she announced his arrival in August 2023.
At the time, she shared a video of her three, young children reacting to meeting Socks for the first time. The heartwarming moment attracted 228,000 views but has since been removed.
From the outside, Socks fit well into Harvey's life. The puppy featured in the influencer's brand deals, looking perfectly adorable. However, behind the scenes the family were struggling to look after the dog.
In a lengthy statement shared on her Instagram story, Harvey said she'd made the tough decision to re-home Socks. The dog is now living with the family who adopted one of his brothers.
Harvey admitted to feeling extremely anxious, uneasy and frightened over how people would react to the news, but felt like she owed her followers an explanation.
