Bad dog, indeed.
Newlyweds Daniel and Tia Farthing told The Mirror their honeymoon was ruined when they were denied entry into Bali because their dog had chewed off the corner of Daniel’s passport.
The of couple, from Suffolk in the U.K., told the British newspaper they flew 16 hours to the Indonesian island before an official told them the travel document was unacceptable and sent them back home.
“We got married last year and planned our honeymoon for our first anniversary,” Tia told the newspaper. “We’d booked an elephant safari, a villa and pool. It was going to be so special.”
On the way home, the couple says Daniel, 26, was detained in Singapore for seven hours, where he was locked in a room with about 30 others.
“I was shaking and throwing up. It was a horrendous experience,” Daniel said.
After dishing out 4,000 pounds (or about $5,000) for their dream honeymoon, the couple’s family helped set up a GoFundMe fundraising page to help cover lost expenses.
“They both were unable to go on their honeymoon of a lifetime, one which they have spent a whole year saving for and as you can imagine, Bali is not a cheap holiday,” Tia’s sister wrote on the fundraising page. “And the worst part is the insurance won’t pay out a single penny, so they have lost thousands of pounds.”
The couple’s dog, a 4-year-old Labrador-Collie mix named Milo, actually got hold of Daniel’s passport years prior when he was just a puppy.
Daniel had successfully used the passport around Europe, and he said U.K. Border Force agents had assured him it would be fine for traveling to Bali.
USA TODAY has reached out to the GoFundMe organizers and the Ngurah Rai International Airport in Bali for comment.

Balinese Hindu villagers carry offerings for a ceremony, at which they will pray for the Mount Agung volcano to stop erupting, in Kubu sub-district in Karangasem Regency on Indonesia’s resort island of Bali on December 3, 2017. Tens of thousands have already fled their homes around the volcano, which last erupted in 1963, killing around 1,600 people, but as many as 100,000 will likely be forced to leave in case of a full eruption, disaster agency officials have said.
