Stacey Solomon was emotional as she announced the latest addition to Pickle Cottage.
The Loose Women panellist told her 4.9 million Instagram followers last week that she and her family had adopted a rescue cocker spaniel called Teddy to join their pet dachshund Peanut.
While many people were delighted to see mother-of-four Stacey so happy with Teddy following the death of her beloved dog Theo in December, others were not so welcoming reports My London.

One person commented: "I just find it sad rescues don't normally make the adoption process so easy.
"Families normally need older children etc due to not knowing a dogs history. But for celebrities, they break the rules.
"Not even a home visit. Why not give everyone the same treatment regardless of celebrity or not."
Another said: "Can't believe he is a rescue dog, and they just let you take him home, what next will you celebrities be able to do, we would have had to be checked and had a home visit."
A third wrote: "I'd love to know how you do this I had to go and get a puppy as no rescue would let me have a dog due to having a baby you have a toddler and a baby... it's ridiculous that so called normal people can't rescue but famous people can and it doesn't matter about the circumstances.... No hate just it's unfair how the system works why should someone being famous change a dogs life in a rescue centre I may have given a rescue dog just as good life as you?"
But dog and puppy rescue and adoption charity Pro Dogs Direct, who re-home dogs from foster home to forever home, jumped to Stacey’s defence.
They said the star's home was vetted and she followed their adoption process.
