Teen Mom 3 alum Mackenzie McKee defends herself after animal control removes 'neglected' dog Hank
Former Teen Mom 3 star Mackenzie McKee defended herself Tuesday after Oklahoma animal control seized her 'neglected' Harlequin Great Dane Hank while she was away on vacation.
Neighbors reported the 24-year-old mother-of-three on Monday because her dog 'had been crying for four days in a poop-filled pen outside without any decent cover from rain,' according to TMZ.
The neighbors added a wood pallet so that Hank could avoid sitting directly in the mud as Mackenzie was celebrating her husband Josh's 26th birthday with a cruise to the Bahamas.

Over the weekend, McKee (born Douthit) blissfully wrote that she 'never wanted to leave' her seaside holiday, but her mood changed dramatically after the dog debacle.
The Body By Mac owner claimed that animal control only removed her canine companion due to the threat of tornadoes, and she stressed that Hank 'hates kennels' and 'will not sleep in a kennel.'

'I love hank more than words could ever describe. I paid 4K to have his fence installed 2 weeks before vacation and they stalled it out longer,' Mackenzie - who boasts 1.1M followers - tweeted.
'So for you all to pull the "don't pay for vacation if you can't afford proper care for your dog" bull**** is insane as well.'

McKee wrote that she paid for her pet to be let out to run and play three times a day as well as being fed, watered, and cleaned up on.
'If you guys think that my neighbors were telling the truth, you are out of your mind,' the 16 and Pregnant alum snapped.
'They have had it out for us since we moved in in October and moving is in the near future.'
Aside from Hank, Mackenzie and her rodeo bull rider beau are parents to seven-year-old son Gannon, five-year-old daughter Jaxie, and two-year-old son Broncs.
