Pop star Britney Spears recently caused a stir on the internet when she posted a video of herself dancing with knives. While some found it entertaining, others expressed worry for her tiny dogs who were present during the dangerous performance.

The video, in which Spears twirled around with the sharp tools and even banged them together, featured three of her dogs looking visibly afraid, running for cover when the knives clashed.

Concerned fans took to social media to voice their worries about the safety of the dogs, with comments like, “Those poor dogs need to be rescued and she needs HELP!” and “Someone please save these puppies!! I’m now concerned about her having dogs, let alone any animals after this video.”

In response to the backlash, Spears claimed the knives were fake Halloween props. However, many fans were skeptical, pointing out that the sound and movements in the video suggested the knives were real.

Adding to the concern, the pop star later posted another video showing what appeared to be a cut on her leg and a bandage on her arm, possibly confirming fans’ fears.

Ventura County Animal Services confirmed that they had not received any complaints about Spears’ behavior. While they acknowledged that the dogs seemed startled by the clinking of the knives, they did not believe it warranted dispatching an officer.
