Lily Allen's Dog Mabel "Beaten Up By Bigger Dogs"

British pop star Lily Allen got a real scare when she had to rush her dog Mabel to an emergency veterinary hospital after the pup tangled with some burly canines. "Mabel got beaten up by bigger dogs," Allen tweeted, posting a picture of a bandaged Mabel on her Twitter page. "She went to doggy hospital, but she's ok."

A passerby spotted Allen looking distraught at the vet hospital in her North London neighborhood as she awaited news of Mabel. "She was doing a lot of pacing in the window," the witness told our sister site, PopEater. "She was sitting with her boyfriend, then standing, then sitting. She looked very upset."

It wasn't the first time Allen's been made to worry over one of her pets. In December 2006, Allen's English bull terrier named Maggie May was stolen out of a friend's van in east London. Allen managed to get back Maggie May the following week, but only after paying a cash reward to a man later suspected to be a serial dognapper, reports the BBC.

In 2008, Allen adopted little Mabel -- then named Honey -- from Battersea Dogs & Cats Home, an animal shelter in the U.K. Blogging about it on her MySpace page at the time, Allen described her new dog as "quite fat, very sweet and a mongrel."

There were no further details as to how Mabel got into the doggy fracas that landed her in the hospital. But, happily, Mabel emerged from the vet, alive and well except for bright, pink bandages wrapped around her paws.

We wish you a speedy recovery, Mabel!
