Love Island star Molly-Mae Hague shared a tribute to her dog Mr Chai as she “finally” received her late pet’s ashes.
The Pomeranian puppy, who was imported from Russia, was intended as a 21st birthday gift from her boyfriend Tommy Fury, also 21, who she met on the ITV2 reality show last summer.
Sadly, Mr Chai was “taken ill” and died just days after he arrived in the UK.
Hague posted a photo of the box containing the puppy’s ashes on her Instagram story and told her followers that she still misses the pet “every day.”

“Finally got my little babies [sic] ashes today,” she wrote.
“Think about you every day pup.”
The picture also feature a set of imprints of Mr Chai’s paw prints.

The couple later revealed in a YouTube video that the autopsy showed that the dog’s “skull wasn’t fully developed and part of his brain was exposed” and that “he didn’t have a single white blood cell in his body.”
Hague and Fury have since urged “anyone [who] is thinking about importing a dog” to “just think twice.”
A statement from breeders Tiffany Puppies, who provided Fury with the pet, said the business “only work[s] with trusted people” and has “a small network of reputable breeders who care for their dogs to the very highest standards,” as well as “rigorous processes in place to check animal health.”
Tiffany Puppies has previously provided reality stars including Love Island’s Laura Anderson and Belle Hassan and The Only Way Is Essex’s James Locke with pets.
