Travis Barker mourns his beloved pet after 'the best dog' Blue dies

Grammy nominee and musician Travis Barker has shared a touching tribute to his beloved pet French Bulldog Blue.

The sweet canine has sadly passed away on Wednesday 2nd November, leaving Travis and youngest daughter Alabama Luella Barker devastated.

Both the 46-year-old and his 16-year-old daughter have shared heartwarming memories of the beloved family pet who they describe as 'the best dog'.

Travis shared the sad news of Blue's death via his Instagram story to his 13.2m followers. The pop punk Blink-182 star wrote: "I'll miss you Blue. You were the best dog. I was always waiting for you to say something. Love you 4ever boy."

Travis wasn't the only one to share touching memories. The beloved dog was primarily raised by Travis' youngest daughter Alabama Luella from his three year marriage to ex-wife Shanna Moakler.

Alabama wrote on her social media: "I love you Blue. You will never understand how much you helped me on my darkest days."

She continued: "You slept next to me, the way I would throw your ball and you would run with excitement, or the eyes you had that just touched everybody, I'll never forget you my baby.

Posting on her TikTok account, the teen wrote: "I love you my baby. Your mommy loves you more then life could imagine.

"[You're] going to have the most amazing life in heaven. Until we meet again my son I love you more then life itself."

She also shared a plethora of snaps of her cuddling the canine, including a snap of herself age 8 in 2014 petting Blue and holding one of the family's other three French Bulldogs.
