It is a serious matter.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>A source also told the publication: \u201cJohnny was not at the house at the time, and his aide was walking the dog.<\/p>\n<p>\n\u201cHe broke free and went after the sheep. Two were killed. It was all very traumatic.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\nThe incident is understood to have taken place on farmland neighbouring Johnny\u2019s country property, which he is believed to be renting for around \u00a312,000 a month. <\/p>\n<p>\nMr Ginger is said to be \u201cunderstandably furious\u201d. <\/p>\n<p>\nSources told The Sun such attacks are not uncommon in the area when dogs are inadequately trained.<\/p>\n<p>\nJohnny was reportedly distressed when informed of what had happened, particularly as he has sought privacy and quiet at the East Sussex home. <\/p>\n<p>\nThe 19th-century mansion, dating back to the mid-1800s, has landscaped grounds and a distinctive sunken walled garden. <\/p>\n<p>\nIt is close to the former home of Johnny\u2019s late friend, guitarist Jeff Beck, who died in 2023.<\/p>\n<p>\nThe sheep were valued at about \u00a3180 each, according to a local smallholder. <\/p>\n<p>\nThe land where the animals were killed is believed to be owned by the same landlord who rents out Johnny\u2019s property.<\/p>\n<p>\nThe Los Angeles-born actor has faced dog-related controversies before. <\/p>\n<p>\nIn 2015, his Yorkshire Terriers, Boo and Pistol, were flown into Australia on a private jet with his then wife Amber Heard. <\/p>\n<p>\nAuthorities threatened to euthanise the animals within 72 hours unless they were removed, claiming they had been brought into the country without the necessary quarantine documents.<\/p>\n<p><!-- Pagination --><\/p>\n<p><!-- playbuzz --><br \/>\n<!-- end playbuzz--><\/p>\n<p><!-- \n\n<div data-cn-project=\"femalefirst\">\n    \n<\/div>\n\n --><\/p>\n<p><!-- Outbrain { date: 2018\/06\/08 } --><br \/>\n<!-- Outbrain { date: 2018\/06\/08 } --><\/p>\n<p>    <!-- Outbrain { date: 2018\/06\/08 } --><br \/>\n    <!-- Outbrain { date: 2018\/06\/08 } --><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.femalefirst.co.uk\/celebrity\/johnny-depps-rescue-dog-mauls-two-sheep-death-1430046.html?f=rss\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>by Feeds-Bang | 20 September 2025 Johnny Depp\u2019s rescue dog has reportedly mauled two sheep to death.
