Ellen's Doggie History

You all heard and saw Ellen put on the tears when the pup she adopted and then gave to a show employee, was taken back by the dog rescue. According to an LA producer who gave Ellen a dog in the past, this isn't the first time Ellen has taken a dog in just to give it to someone else later.

Kerri Randles says she gave DeGeneres a male mutt named Stormy two years ago, only to find out less than two months later that fickle Ellen had re-gifted him to a member of her staff.

"She may have had it for much less time than that. I only say two months because that's when I called to check on the dog and found out she no longer had it," Randles said. "I was totally shocked. I thought she was out of her mind."

DeGeneres may have passed along several other dogs over the years. Howard Stern said on his Sirius show that he'd heard she had done this nine times before.
