Chrissy Teigen Tearfully Mourns The Loss Of Beloved Bulldog, Puddy

Puddy was a part of Chrissy Teigen and John Legend’s family for a decade, and, along with “wife” Pippa, was oft documented on their social media updates. Yesterday, a tearful Teigen took to Instagram to let fans and followers know that the English bulldog had crossed the Rainbow Bridge.

“Today our baby, Puddy, has gone on to the pup heavens,” she wrote. “10 years ago, on May 30th, I found the dog that would be there for us through every up, down, new house, new city, new tour, new travel. He welcomed new pups and loved on new babies and new bellies. He was there for everything.”

Today our baby, Puddy, has gone on to the pup heavens. John and I got Puddy in our first year of dating, when I convinced him half-birthday presents were a real thing. 10 years ago, on May 30th, I found the dog that would be there for us through every up, down, new house, new city, new tour, new travel. He welcomed new pups and loved on new babies and new bellies. He was there for everything. Every time I needed a taste tester, someone to kiss or needed to sob into his stinky rolls, he was there. It’s true what they say. We are their entire lives and it is the greatest shame that they can only bless us with a short spark of time in ours. I always knew I would lose a piece of me when he left us. I feel the hole now. I will love you forever, my boy. My heart aches. Thank you so much for everything, everything.

She went on to tell a bit of Puddy’s back story: she and Legend got him during their first year dating “when I convinced [John] that half-birthday presents were a real thing.”

She shared fun “wedding” photos, as well, from the day Puddy and their other bulldog, Pippa, were “married.”

Her thoughts echo just about every other dog lover in the moments when we are faced with losing them:

“It’s true what they say. We are their entire lives and it is the greatest shame that they can only bless us with a short spark of time in ours,” she wrote. “I always knew I would lose a piece of me when he left us. I feel the hole now.”
