AFTER sorting the check-in for the family holiday four days early, Ella Arundell felt pretty pleased with herself.

Unfortunately, the mom of three’s efficiency didn’t stretch to putting her children’s passports away somewhere safe — or at least out of reach of the family puppy… who then ate them.

Now cocker spaniel Bailey is truly in the doghouse after Ella, 32, and her partner Russell Mack, 35, were forced to cancel their trip to Majorca.

The couple, from Winchester, the U.K., had been all set to jet off on the break with their three young children – Erin, 9, Tilly, 6, and Harry, 2.

But Bailey’s antics left them with no choice but to put it off.

The family was unable to use the normal 24-hour fast-track service because of the child passports, and the airport warned them that it wouldn’t accept the ones that Ella had desperately tried to tape together.

The self-employed childminder said, “It was just so deflating and stressful.”

The family had been due to join friends on an all-inclusive trip on the Spanish holiday island.

In the end, the couple have had to pay the holiday company to change their plans to go a month later.
