Depp's dogs face death in quarantine row

Australian quarantine authorities have ordered Johnny Depp to fly his dogs Pistol and Boo out of the country by Saturday or they will be put down.

Agriculture Minister Barnaby Joyce accused Depp on Thursday of smuggling the Yorkshire terriers aboard his private jet when he returned to Australia on April 21 to resume filming of the fifth installment of the Pirates of the Caribbean movie series at Gold Coast Studios.

On Wednesday, the Agriculture Department gave Depp, 51, and his 29-year-old wife, Amber Heard, a 72-hour notice to send their pets back to the United States.
