Kaley Cuoco’s Beloved Dog, Petey, Dies

Actress and star of The Big Bang Theory Kaley Cuoco lost her beloved dog, Petey yesterday. The actress confirmed her pup’s passing with a sentimental post on her personal Instagram. The collage of photos includes Cuoco reminiscing of when she was gifted the pup by a boyfriend when she was 16.

“Anyone who knows me, knows Petey. He was basically the first dog I ever had… I was gifted him on my sweet 16, by my bf at the time.. I was afraid I would get in trouble so I hid him in my bedroom for 3 days until my parents found out- they said I had to take care of him if I was to keep him , that he would be mine! I was so excited!! When I moved out of my parents house at 17, I had plans to take him with me but he had stolen my parents hearts and they wouldn’t let me! Here we are 15 years later. My folks gave him the greatest life and he taught us what it meant to love an adoption pup. I have since named my corporation after him (peteypie inc) and he has brought a lifetime of joy and laughs to our entire family. I know he will now enjoy doggie heaven where there will be an abundance of greenies just for him. This little guy, I will never ever forget… ???”

The animal lover also is the owner of two pit bulls, a horse and a newly adopted puppy. It was also announced last year that the actress split from her husband, Ryan Sweeting, after only 21 months of marriage. She owes most of her healing help to her pit bulls. “My two pits have made this last year so much better for me,” the actress told the audience at Stand Up for Pits last November.
