Meanwhile, someone else said, ‘Oh my goshhh so fluffy!’
However, some followers were not impressed with Elsa’s choice to acquire the canine from a breeder.
‘What rescue was he adopted from as surely you wouldn’t have purchased off a breeder!!!!’ one fan admonished.
Another said, ‘Dog lovers make it our business to spread the word of the RIGHT thing to do. Adopt, Always!!!’
‘My exact thoughts,’ someone else agreed, while other fans clapped back.
‘Really? Like it’s any of your business…ffs,’ wrote one.
‘Stop being a Karen, serious who gives a f***,’ another follower said.
‘Stop patronising people. Nothing wrong with ethical breeders,’ wrote another one of Elsa’s defenders.

The new addition to the family joins Elsa, Chris, their twin sons Tristan and Sasha, 10, and daughter India, 12.
The family live in Byron Bay in a sprawling $30million eight-bedroom mansion that sits on a massive 4.2 hectares of land in Broken Head.
But Elsa revealed that she wasn’t always convinced about moving Down Under and had one very specific condition for Chris before she relocated.
Elsa, who is originally from Madrid, admitted she told Chris that she would only move to Australia if they lived on a sprawling farm where she could have horses.
‘That was my deal with Chris,’ she told the Courier Mail.
‘I said I would move to Australia but I wanted to live on a property, a farm, and have horses and he knew that.’
Elsa also gave a candid insight into her relationship with Chris and shared their secret to a happy marriage despite facing many challenges over the years.
‘I think we all have the idea of this beautiful dream of a marriage and loving each other and it all being perfect but it’s much more work than you think,’ she said.

‘It comes with so many challenges but it’s beautiful to grow into those challenges and learn about each other and how we change with the years and how we adapt to each other.
‘You can think from the outside that a marriage is perfect but they all have their things and they all need a lot of work.’
Elsa and Chris will celebrate 14 years of marriage on December 22, though she confessed they rarely remember their anniversary.
Even though it might seem like a relationship faux pas, Elsa insisted the date is easily forgotten because it’s so close to Christmas and said they laugh it off every year.
Gushing over her husband, Elsa also admitted that she has always wanted a ‘partner for life’ as she told how she wants to grow old with Thor actor Chris.
Elsa and Chris got married in a spontaneous ceremony while in holiday in Australia in December 2010, just three months after they made their relationship public and ten months after they first met.
They moved to Byron Bay five years later after buying their forever home in the coastal paradise for $7.6million.
