Brian Austin Green, 35, had a mastif-pitt bull mix dog named Macy that he adopted three years ago when she was just a puppy. His live-in fiance Megan Fox, 22, is said to have told him that it was her or the dog. The National Enquirer has this story, and claims Macy was a well-trained and well-behaved dog and didn’t cause any problems. Brain ultimately gave up the dog to a good home at Megan’s insistence, but he’s said to be heart broken about it.

Megan Fox has fiance Brian Austin Freen on such a short leash that she’s forced him to give up his best friend - his beloved dog Macy!

“Megan claimed she felt threatened by Macy, but that dog was a sweetheart. She wouldn’t hurt a fly,” divulged an insider.

“Brian adored Macy and refused to give her up for the longest time, but Megan nagged him about it until he finally gave in. He was crushed.”

[Brian] adopted 3-year-old Macy, a mastiff-pit bull mix, when she was 3 months old - around the same time he and Megan, 22, began living together, according to sources.

After adopting the dog, 35 year-old Brian enrolled her in rigorous training courses at the Hollywood Dog Training School…

“Macy was really mellow and well-behaved,” the source added. “Whenever Brian went out of town he’d board Macy at the training school.

“The trainers were shocked when Brian’s assistant came in one day and said Brian was being forced to give Macy up for adoption because Megan didn’t get along with her.”

The Enquirer goes on to say that to add insult to injury “Right after Brian gave Macy up for adoption, Megan adopted two tiny dogs.”

There was a story a while ago the Brian was overheard at lunch venting to a friend about how Megan controls his life, including making schedules for him so he spent a specific amount of time together. These two were rumored to have broken up last month, but Brian denied it, saying they were still together.

It’s very cold to make someone give up their pet, and you have to wonder if these two are ready to get married and take it to the next step. If Fox is as controlling and cold-hearted as she’s rumored to be, she would definitely make a terrible wife. It doesn’t matter how hot someone is if they’re a nightmare to be with.

Despite about a billion reports last week that Megan Fox had dumped fiancé Brian Austin Green, Green says it’s untrue. Which is super weird, because the internet was abuzz with the gossip last Thursday, and neither Fox nor Green bothered to address the supposedly incorrect gossip until today.

Brian Austin Green says everything’s going great with fiancée Megan Fox.

(London’s Daily Star reported that Fox, 22, called off her engagement to the former 90210 star after realizing “she’s too young to marry him.”)

“We’re solid,” Green, 34, says in the new issue of TV Guide. “We’ve lived together for three years. We have tattoos of each other’s names.”

Green’s only gripe about their relationship? “We have more time away from each other right now than we’d like,” he says.

Green - who has a son, Kassius, with ex fiancée Vanessa Marcil - says he “would love” to have more kids.

For now, he and Fox - who met in 2004 and got engaged in 2006 - are “rescuing pets from pet stores. We have a potbellied pig, we have dogs, two cats, two birds a squirrel.

How freaking adorable. I can’t say why, but somehow I don’t find this entirely believable. Maybe it’s because it took them so long to respond to the gossip. Or maybe it’s because Megan Fox hasn’t said a word. I just wouldn’t be entirely surprised if in a week we find out that they have split after all.

In other news, Green seems to be just about the only 90210 cast member that hasn’t been asked to join the cast of the spin-off. So far Tori Spelling is confirmed, and it seems pretty likely that Shannen Doherty and Jennie Garth will both be involved in some capacity. Too bad for Brian, as his career probably could have used it.
