Ronan Keating has shelled out a whopping £13,000 to fly his new pooch home for Christmas.
The Boyzone star, 47, shared snaps of Cane Corso, Saint, onboard the aircraft, which was supplied by K9 Jets, posing on a grey fluffy blanket, alongside Ronan's wife, Storm, 43. The pet-dedicated charter service is eye-wateringly expensive, with just one seat costing as much as $16,000 (£13,000).
The singer also shared a photo of himself walking the enormous dog onto the jet, which is bound for Australia where Ronan and Storm will be spending the next few months with their family. The Life Is A Rollercoaster star was also accompanied by his pet cat for the journey Down Under, making his furry family complete.

The company specialise in family protection dogs, emotional support dogs and highly trained pets, with the Cane Corso being a prominent breed for this need.
Speaking about Ronan's decision to buy the sizeable hound, an insider told The Sun: "Ronan wants to keep his family safe and you can't put a price on that. He's known other celebs who've used the same company so they came highly recommended."
Bringing the pets over for the holidays, Ronan later praised the pet-specific airline and wrote: “Got our other babies safe and sound. Massive thank you to Adam and all the team @k9jets_ WOW what an incredibly easy and enjoyable experience #classservice #canttopthat #insane.”
In the comment section of his post, Ronan’s fans were torn by the splashy display of wealth. “Blimey how the other half live,” one person quipped, while another reasoned: “If you’ve got it, spend it. Ignore nasty comments. Looks amazing. Happy Christmas to you and your family.”
Storm also shared photos from the first class pet plane, and gushed: “Reunited with our furry babies !!! Can’t recommend @k9jets_ enough, if you need to get your pets safely from A to B. What an outstanding service offering unlike anything we’ve ever experienced." Suggesting the gas-guzzling jet is compensating for its carbon emissions by funding projects that reduce or remove greenhouse gas emissions, she added: "Carbon footprint offset.”
Currently, the Keating family - completed by their son Cooper, 7, and Coco, 4 – are living in Australia, having just moved there following his exit from the Magic FM Breakfast Show.
The Irishman, who also shares three kids with ex-wife Yvonne, told RSVP at the time: “I’m going to concentrate on making an album, writing music and touring. We’re also going to spend some time in Australia with Storm’s family. That will be for a few months. We’re going travelling for a while overseas.”
