Amber Heard’s dog once ate cannabis after “scooping it up” before Johnny Depp could reach it, the High Court has heard.

The Hollywood star was asked about an incident in which a Yorkshire Terrier, named Boo, swallowed “a little ball of hashish” as he gave evidence in his libel action against News Group Newspapers (NGN), publishers of The Sun.

The court has also heard about an alleged incident in which it is claimed Mr Depp held another of Ms Heard’s dogs out of a car window, which he dismissed as “utter falsity”.

Cross-examining Mr Depp, 57, Sasha Wass QC, counsel for NGN, asked the star about an occasion in which Ms Heard’s dog “had eaten some hash, some cannabis, quite a lot”.

The barrister suggested it was about an ounce of hash, but Mr Depp said: “I wouldn’t say it was an ounce.”
