Cecilia Cheung (張柏芝) has always been a dog lover. After marrying Nicholas Tse (謝霆鋒) and giving birth to Lucas, Cecilia sold her 6 dogs at a big discount to her friends. Cecilia even parted with her beloved golden retriever. Cecilia once owned 20 dogs, 4 cats, 5 iguanas, 8 turtles and a parrot, and she had hired 3 maids just to take care of these animals. However, ex-husband, Nicholas, and their son, Lucas, both had asthma. The pet’s dander, especially from the furry and feathered animals, had a risk of worsening their conditions. Cecilia had no choice but to give up her dogs including her beloved golden retriever as their fur caused Nicholas’s eyes to swell up and his asthma became more serious. She once told the media, “Many people think I am a mean person, but I am willing to make the sacrifice for the love of my life, Nicholas and Lucas.” With the divorce from Nicholas, Cecilia is free to have dogs in her house again. With her acting career reportedly spiraling downwards, Cecilia wants to have a dog to take away her emptiness. Immediately after the divorce, Cecilia bought 2 dogs. Since they triggered Lucas’s asthma, Cecilia’s mother had to keep the dog in her house instead. Although well aware of Lucas’ asthma reaction, Cecilia maintained a strong desire to own dogs. Cecilia was seen with her brother at a pet shop in Kowloon Tong purchasing a pair of 6-month -old French Bull dogs, costing about $14,000 HKD. Being an experienced dog owner, Cecilia knew exactly what items to buy for her new puppies. Recently, she was seen purchasing dog’s crates, leashes, beds, diapers, and more. Cecilia appeared to be happy and excited like a child when she saw the other puppies in the shop. She was seen carrying and hugging all of the little puppies. After purchasing the necessities for her pets, the elated Cecilia finally left for home to play with her precious new puppies. Creds: Sina
