The story that just ... won't ... die.

The never-bloody-ending case of Johnny Depp's dogs is due to return to a Gold Coast court, where it's expected to once again proceed without defendant Amber Heard.

Depp's 29-year-old wife is charged with breaching Australia's quarantine laws after allegedly failing to declare the entry by private jet of Yorkshire terriers Pistol and Boo.

Heard has since vowed never to return to the country (fair nuff) and has been absent for all three mentions of her case in the Southport Magistrates Court.

The last hearing three weeks ago was adjourned so Heard's barrister Paula Morreau could seek instructions from her high-profile client.
To recap, the star couple came under fire earlier this year from Arigculture Minister Barnaby Joyce - aka the man Depp once described as the "sweay-pated gut man' - when they allegedley smuggled the two pooches into Australia while he was filming the latest Pirates Of The Carribean instalment.

Joyce made a very public threat to have both dogs "euthanised" under Australia law, which then resulted in the following media shitstorm.

To date, no dogs have been killed but Depp did joke about "eating them" in a press conference one time.

That guy man, that guy.
