Abbie Chatfield has divided opinion over her views on pet ownership after rehoming her pup.
The FBoy Island host, 29, appeared on a special animal-themed episode of Channel Nine’s The Hundred on Tuesday.
The game show, hosted by comedian Andy Lee, asks guest panelists questions and compares their answers to what a representative panel of 100 people think.
Host Andy asked guest Abbie: ‘Is it okay to bring your dog to someone’s house unannounced? What percentage of The Hundred would think that’s acceptable?
Abbie, who came to the show dressed as a bunny, responded with a resounding “no.”
“I think it’s a little strange to bring your dog advertised,” he said and it seemed like most of The Hundred agreed.
It comes as Abbie made the heartbreaking decision to rehome her almost one-year-old puppy Daisy.
The Bachelor star announced the sad news on his It’s a Lot podcast last week.
Abbie Chatfield has divided opinion over her views on pet ownership after re-homing her pup during a guest appearance on The Hundred.
Abbie recently made the heartbreaking decision to rehome her almost one-year-old puppy Daisy.
Abbie asked her fans and followers to “listen to the entire episode before commenting” in the caption of the video she shared on Instagram of the episode recording.
‘I’m very nervous about recording today’s episode. “I’m afraid of the reaction because I feel very bad about the whole situation,” he began.
‘I’m going to be honest because I know the decision I made was the right one for me and everyone involved.
“I had to rehome Daisy.”
Revealing the sad news on her It’s a Lot podcast last week, Abbie said that as Daisy (pictured) got older and better behaved, Walter’s tolerance for her decreased.
Daisy is a one-year-old cocker spaniel that the media personality adopted into her family in April.
“I’m going to cry,” Abbie said as she began to explain her decision.
‘Daisy is my puppy. I have an older dog, Mr. Walter, who is eight years old, and I have Daisy, who will be one year old in a week or two.
‘I had to rehome her because of Walter and his traumas and the way they manifest. So before anyone comes into my DMs, I’ve spent six months agonizing over this.
The television personality claimed that she had to give Daisy away because her other dog, Walter, had too much trauma from his previous owners and couldn’t deal with the other dog’s energy.
Walter suffers from anxiety caused by his previous owners.
“I’ve tried my hardest and I never thought I’d give up a dog,” Abbie continued on the podcast.
Abbie, who lives in a two-bedroom apartment in Sydney, said she “tried literally everything” to find a way for her two dogs to get along.
The decision has taken a huge emotional toll on the popular radio and television presenter, who said that until the day she handed Daisy over to her new owner, a couple of weeks ago, she was ‘screaming and crying in the shower’.
‘I raised her and went through the most difficult parts of her puppyhood. I’ve done all the hard work with her. She is the best dog.
‘She sleeps with her arms around my neck. I can’t take that trauma out of him and all I can do is give him a safe place to live.’
Abbie said she has rehomed Daisy with a good friend’s sister in Brisbane, who drove to Sydney to pick her up.
She packed up all of Daisy’s things and made lists of all her food and activity preferences for her new owner.
“A few weeks later, I’m 100% sure this was the right decision for both dogs, but I’m heartbroken,” she wrote in the caption of her podcast post.
