RONAN Keating risked the wrath of animal protection agencies after adopting a Cane Corso dog and spending £15,000 to fly it to Australia. The Life Is A Rollercoaster singer splashed out to hire a private jet from K9 Jets in order for his beloved dog and cats to travel to the other side of the world for the holidays.

Ronan shared images of their animals on board alongside Australian wife Storm, where they were pampered with a bed and couches for lots of rest on the long-haul trip. The move was celebrated by Ambassador Protection Dogs, with the company sharing a video of the flight on Instagram and writing: “I get to meet some amazing people doing what I do and gotta say @rokeating and his lovely family are true dog lovers and it’s always a highlight to get to see them and work with the big lad Saint, undoubtedly one of the finest dogs we’ve ever supplied.”.

An insider added to The Sun: "Ronan wants to keep his family safe and you can't put a price on that. He's known other celebs who've used the same company so they came highly recommended". The company specialise in family protection dogs, emotional support dogs and highly trained pets, with the cane corso being a prominent breed for this need.

However, according to PETA, Cane Corsos should be avoided for adoption for this purpose, as the breed has a number of issues including medical issues. They’re defined as a Breathing Impaired Breed, and are more susceptible to developing heatstroke, so struggle greatly in hot weather.
