She wrote: “May I just share with you how, every night, this lovely doggy opens the boot cupboard and brings us Harry’s shoe… every night. I guess dogs grieve too… Helen and the boys x”
Responding to the tweet, @Wolfus1492 said: “No words really, just best wishes and gratitude from everyone who knew just a tiny little bit about him.”
@southwestowl said: “Dogs are far more emotional than humans because they can't speak, they show us with actions. Actions speak louder than words.”
@HobsonDhobson22 added: “That maybe the saddest, most poignant thing I've ever heard!”
