The pups could have faced death in Australia.
Woof! Amber Heard and Johnny Depp's pups are barking freely now.
The Magic Mike XXL actress spoke to ET about "the sad state of affairs" that made her dogs the subject of global news when the couple traveled to Queensland, Australia on a private jet in May and their Yorkshire terriers, Pistol and Boo, failed to go through customs and undergo the country's required 10-day quarantine.

Australian Agriculture Minister Barnaby Joyce was not happy with the dogs' illicit entry after a picture of the pups at a grooming parlor surfaced. "If we start letting movie stars even though they've been the 'Sexiest Man Alive' twice to come into our nation, then why don't we just break the laws for everybody?" Joyce told the BBC at the time. "It's time that Pistol and Boo buggered off back to the United States."
And "bugger" off is what they did.

Heard confirmed to ET that they're back on American soil, and she can laugh about it now. "They're good despite attempts by certain rogue thug Australian government officials, they are alright," she said.
