Ellen DeGeneres Reveals Dog Kid Broke His Leg in an Accident

Ellen DeGeneres and Portia de Rossi‘s dog Kid had an accident and broke his leg in their backyard.

“Over the weekend, our dog Wally, she’s a little over a year, so she’s a puppy. And she was running full-speed across the lawn,” Ellen said in the opening monologue of her show on Tuesday (September 22).

“Our dog Kid happened to be in the way and she just trampled over Kid, which is illegal because the speed limit is 25 when there’s a kid nearby,” Ellen continued, adding in a joke. “So Kid was screaming in pain and we knew his leg was broken. It was awful, awful, awful.”

We’ve embedded a photo of Kid from Portia‘s Instagram. We hope he makes a quick recovery and is feeling all better!

Current and former Ellen Show employees have been speaking out about her apology that she gave over what went down this summer.
