Katie Price 'numb and shocked' as beloved dog Blade dies and says she 'has no words'

Katie Price has been left "numb and shocked" after the sudden death of her beloved dog Blade.

The 45 year old first welcomed dog Blade into her family in 2019 after being held at gunpoint in South Africa during a carjacking.

Taking to Instagram, she shared the sad news with her followers as she shared a photo of the pair of them together.

She wrote: "Worlds can’t express the lost of my best friend my protector my absolutely everything who had sadly passed away today I have no words to say how I’m feeling but numb and shocked rip Blade."

Her latest dog heartbreak comes just three years after the heartbreaking death of her little French Bulldog Rolo, who she bought for her daughter Princess' 13th birthday.

The dog tragically suffocated to death after getting stuck under an armchair at Katie's home.

She had bought Rolo to cheer Princess up after her beloved Alsatian Sparkle was knocked down by a car and killed.

She adopted the pedigree pooch in January 2019, but it kept escaping from her West Sussex mansion and running out onto the nearby A24.

Sparkle's half-sister, Bear, also had three near-death experiences in a matter of weeks on the same road and was fortunately found on the dual carriageway by a policeman.

After a run-in with another dog in April 2019, Katie rehomed the £1,000 hound for its own safety, with her rep telling the Mirror at the time: "Yes she’s had to give Bear away because he kept running onto the road and he had bitten another dog.

The same stretch of road claimed the life of one of Katie's beloved horses after it escaped from a field in 2014.

German Shepherd Queenie was also killed by a motorist in 2018 - this time in an alleged hit and run by a pizza delivery driver.

It comes as a petition to ban Katie Price from buying any more pets - first started in 2020 after Rolo's death - reached 30,000 signatures.

In April, Katie was allegedly reported to the RSPCA over accusations that she has been 'neglecting her chihuahuas'.

An eye-witness claimed they had seen the star’s beloved dogs walking around in their own excrement beside their 'filthy cages '.
