Kaley Cuoco, partner Tom Pelphrey announce death of beloved dog Blue👇

Few celebrities love animals as much as Kaley Cuoco. The Big Bang Theory star, 38, is both an advocate for animal rights and a mom to many pets.

But sadly, Cuoco recently had to say goodbye to one of her beloved pets, her German Shepherd Blue.

“He was amazing”

The actress announced Blue’s passing in a social media post, and paid tribute to the sweet dog.

Cuoco wrote that Blue had an extra special relationship with her partner, Tom Pelphrey. “The relationship he had with Blue was so special,” she wrote. “They were quite the duo.”

She admits that this made things “rough” at the beginning: “He didn’t love me the way he loved Tom. I had never experienced this before,” the Flight Attendant star wrote. “All dogs love me! I could tell he was wondering why I was still here?… Tom was his, and he didn’t want to share.”

“Then I finally understood because I felt the same way about Tom,” she added. “My love is so deep for him sometimes I didn’t want to share him with the world either.”

Cuoco wrote that, over time, Blue came to accept both partners as his family: “Blue finally realized we were a family and we were all sticking together. Something changed. He was amazing. Protective of me and the rest of our pup crew, always on guard.”

She wrote that Blue was equally protective of her baby daughter Matilda when she arrived. While Blue came to love the whole family, his special love and loyalty to Tom never wavered.

“He was the quiet mascot of our home but Tom was and will always be his one and only,” Cuoco wrote. “They saved each other.”

“Blue, it was an honor to be your second favorite human down here on earth.”

“He was the most beautiful dog I’ve ever seen”

In his own social media post, Pelphrey paid tribute to his close companion. He wrote that he got Blue on Christmas Eve 2018, and that the dog had been adopted and returned at least three times; he was kept in a kennel and considered “too aggressive” to have a home.
