Jessica Simpson believes her dead dog would want her to have another pooch.

The singer-and-actress – who was left devastated when her Maltipoo Daisy was taken by a coyote last month – is struggling to come to terms with the loss of her pet, but draws comfort in knowing Daisy would want her to move on.

 

She said: “I haven't really thought about another dog yet, but maybe sometime. Daisy would want that.”

 

Jessica, 29, still finds it hard to discuss Daisy, who was a gift from her ex-husband Nick Lachey.

 

She admitted: “Daisy meant the world to me. I hold her memory very, very close. It was an unfortunate thing what happened. That I don't have her every day... It's a very hard thing to talk about.”

 

Daisy was snatched as Jessica looked on.

 

She immediately began a campaign to get the dog back, posting messages on her Twitter account and placing posters around her neighbourhood calling for information.

 

Earlier this week, Jessica – who joked Daisy was a lesbian after she struck up a close friendship with another female dog – revealed people had been falsely claiming Daisy was alive.

 

She wrote on her Twitter webpage: “People have been contacting my family and friends saying that Daisy has been found. Untrue. People are so cruel... please respect her memory (sic).”
