Jennifer Garner shares emotional goodbye on death of her Birdie
The Alias star announced on Wednesday that her beloved golden retriever passed away
Jennifer Garner paid a touching tribute to her Golden Retriever, Birdie, after a vet visit confirmed the dog was at the “end of her life.”
The Alias star announced on Wednesday that her beloved golden retriever, Birdie, 9 was dead.
Sharing on Instagram, Garner noted “It is hard to know how to write this— it seems nuts, given the world, to mourn a pet, but since we have shared Birdie with all of you, it only seems fair to let you know of her passing.”
She added, “Birdie let us know on Thursday that she wasn’t feeling herself (a renowned foodie, Birdie never missed a meal). We were surprised to learn that, not only was she very ill, she was at the end of her life.”
The Daredevil star further wrote, “The vet told us that dogs often hang on until their person comes home from college and we believe Birdie did just that, so that we could pet her soft ears together and thank her for being the world’s best dog.”
She continued, “Birdie loved to be read to, always found her way into a Pretend Cooking Show, and knew just how to give people what they needed (as evidenced by her happy days as a dog therapy team with Mo).”
Garner capped off the caption, “She lived a happy dog life and is now in the role she was born to play: angel girl. It’s a gift to love and be loved by such a creature as Birdie the Doggie.”
Jennifer Garner also dropped a series of images and videos of her beloved furry pal.
