Pop star Britney Spears and the focus of much ridicule lately, has revealed that she wishes to be buried with her dog, Lucky. She claims that she loves her dog so much that she wants a burial like the ancient Egyptians had, where pet dogs are buried with their masters.

The 24 year old, who is currently pregnant with her second child, said “You know how the Pharaohs used to get buried with things they loved? I want to do that with Lucky. She should be laid to rest with me when the time comes,”.

“Lucky is just so cute. Mom sometimes looks after her when I’m away but I really miss her.”

Britney has caused controversy amongst dog owners and animal welfare campaigners in the past, notably when she put her house on sale in 2001 and included her dogs, two German Shepherds and a Yorkshire Terrier named ‘Baby’ with the contents. She also infuriated onlookers when she was seen carrying her dog in a handbag.
