Who is really the dog?
Britney Spears and Kevin Federline were removed from two high class Beverly Hills restaurants on Monday. The removal of the couple was spurred because of Britney’s dog ‘Bit Bit.’ Spears wanted the dog to eat with them – in the restaurants. The second restaurant did allow Britney to return, as long as the animal remained in her purse.
This follows up a bizarre string of animal problem related to Spears, including Spears buying a high priced stake to feed the dog late last year.
