Today, Debbie Rowe released her first public statement since Michael Jackson’s funeral, and the topic of conversation was… Jessica Simpson’s dead dog.

Debbie spoke with US Weekly about how back in 2004, her own dog Ruufus was also eaten by a coyote. Debbie said,

I’m very sorry for her loss. Coyotes are smart and hunt very well in L.A. When dogs are small, you can’t leave them out alone - especially at daybreak night time and evening.

[After our dog was killed], we were able to do the ‘country thing’ - we shot the coyote and hung the skin on the fence. The coyotes moved on after a few days.

Debbie has since replaced Ruufus with two dogs - a Belgian Shepherd and a German Shepherd.
