Ellen's 'good deed' comes back to bite her

She may play cards with a dog in her American Express ads, but Ellen DeGeneres couldn't handle what was dealt her and gave away one of her pets.

According to this Associated Press story, Iggy, a Brussels Griffon mix, was adopted by DeGeneres and her partner Portia de Rossi in September from Mutts and Moms dog rescue.

The poor pooch didn't get along with the couple's cats, so DeGeneres gave Iggy to her hairdresser.

M&M found out about the trade off and reclaimed the dog. They apparently have a policy where if someone can't keep the dog it has to be returned to the agency.

The talk show host has pleaded on air that the hairdresser's kids desperately want the dog back. (Expect a commercial before the video plays.)

Let's see if DeGeneres can dance her way out of this one.
