A DATE has been set for Johnny Depp’s wife Amber Heard to face a court trial in Australia for allegedly smuggling her two dogs into the country.

    The case, which has been dubbed the “war on terrier,” will be heard April 18 in Queensland.

    The actress is facing two counts of knowingly importing a prohibited product in breach of the Quarantine Act.

    Heard came under fire for failing to declare Pistol and Boo, the couple’s Yorkshire terriers, to authorities on their arrival in Brisbane in April.

    Under strict Australian laws designed to keep disease at bay, dogs entering from the United States must be declared and have to spend 10 days in quarantine.

    The case sparked global attention after the terriers were threatened with death by Australia’s Agriculture Minister Barnaby Joyce, unless they went “back to the United States.”

    The animals, which had allegedly traveled by private jet to Queensland, where Depp was filming “Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales,” were quickly whisked out of the country as the story hit the headlines.

    In July she was charged with two counts of illegally importing the dogs into Australia and one count of producing a false document. Penalties range from a hefty fine to more than 10 years in prison. (SD-Agencies)
