Julia Roberts Mourns Family Dog Myrtle at 19

Julia Roberts announced the heartbreaking loss of her beloved family dog, Myrtle, who passed away at 19 years old. The actress shared an emotional Instagram post featuring a photo of Myrtle and a caption calling her a legend, with her husband Daniel Moder also posting a tribute highlighting Myrtle's fierce loyalty despite a humorous incident involving a pizza delivery man. Myrtle was well-known to fans, having appeared alongside Roberts in the 2023 Chopard Loves Cinema campaign, which offered glimpses into Roberts' Hollywood life and featured behind-the-scenes moments of their close bond. Social media was flooded with condolences from fans and friends, including actress Jennifer Aniston, who expressed her support and love during Roberts' time of grief. Myrtle had been a cherished member of the family since 2006, the same year Roberts adopted her after welcoming twins Hazel and Phinnaeus. Roberts' other dog, Major, continues to make appearances on her social media, while Myrtle's passing marks a poignant moment for the actress and her family.
