Yahoo Lifestyle Chrissy Teigen Mourns Heartbreaking Family Loss: 'We Were So Beyond Lucky to Have You'
Model Chrissy Teigen shared some sad news when she revealed that her family's dog Penny passed away at the age of 11.
The mother of four, who is married to singer John Legend, shared photos of Penny from over the years as she announced on social media, "Our beautiful little tripod queen, penny, passed on peacefully in her sleep today."
"Born the same day John and I got married, 11 years ago, she was there for us for every baby, every loss, every joy. She loved nothing more than being loved, having her nub rubbed and destroying any ball she could get her paw on, even til her last weeks," Teigen went on.
She added the poignant note, "Never forget that while every pup is just a few chapters in your long life, for them you are their entire book, their entire lives."
The update included photos of Penny cuddling with Teigen and Legend, playing with a ball and hanging out with the couple's son Miles.
