Meghan Markle Shares Heartfelt Tribute to Her Beloved Rescue Dog Guy
In a touching display of affection, Meghan Markle has honored her cherished rescue dog Guy, who recently passed away. The Duchess of Sussex shared the news through a nostalgic video montage on her newly launched Instagram account, capturing moments of joy with her family—Prince Harry, and their children Archie and Lilibet.
In her poignant post, Meghan revealed that Guy, a beagle she adopted from a kill shelter in Kentucky in 2015, was once on the brink of euthanasia. She described how fate intervened, allowing her to save him just in time. “He was referred to as ‘the little guy’ because of his small and frail stature, so I named him ‘Guy’. He was truly the best companion one could ever wish for,” Meghan expressed.
Throughout her life, Guy was a steadfast presence, accompanying Meghan during notable milestones, including her days on the TV show Suits and the moments leading up to her marriage to Harry in 2018. He not only supported her through the highs and lows of fame but also helped her navigate challenges, such as the negativity and discrimination she faced living in the UK.
Sadly, Guy faced his own struggles, undergoing multiple surgeries after a serious accident that left veterinarians doubting he would ever walk again. However, due to the dedication of Dr. Noel Fitzpatrick, who treated him, Guy made an impressive recovery.
In her heartfelt message, Meghan acknowledged the overwhelming grief she faces after losing Guy, admitting she has shed “too many tears to count.” She expressed profound gratitude for the love and companionship he provided over the years and shared a hope that fans would come to understand Guy’s special place in her life when they see him in her upcoming Netflix series, With Love, Meghan. “I think you may fall a little bit in love too,” she noted.
Accompanying her post, the video showcased precious family moments with Guy, including an endearing scene of Archie expressing his concern for the dog while they were on a car ride. The film’s emotional climax featured Meghan and Lilibet singing a sweet song to Guy, reinforcing the deep bond they shared.
While comments on her Instagram feed have been disabled, social media users took to X to share their sentiments. Many expressed how significant Guy was in Meghan’s journey, recognizing the impact pets can have during both the highs and lows of life. One commenter poignantly stated that it felt as though Guy waited until Meghan found her footing before saying goodbye, a testament to their unbreakable connection.
Our thoughts are with Meghan, Harry, Archie, and Lilibet during this profoundly difficult time. Fans can witness Meghan’s tribute in the full video on her Instagram and are encouraged to share their own cherished memories of beloved pets.
