Dwayne Johnson Dog

Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson is bigger than life. He’s strong and tough, but we all know he’s a big softie inside. We’ve seen Dwayne with his daughters, and it’s enough to melt your heart. He’s the consummate girl dad who loves doing what his daughters love. Dwayne also has a soft spot for animals, which makes his most recent Instagram post a heartbreaker. Dwayne Johnson recently lost his dog, Hobbs, and the Moana star isn’t quite sure how life will go on without him. Pet owners can empathize with that pain and know that animals are part of the family, no matter what anyone says.

Dwayne Johnson Shared A Sweet Tribute To His Dog

He wrote about his grief on Instagram. “I’ve been numb over this loss, but we’re so grateful for every ounce of pure love he gave our entire family and we’re so grateful he didn’t suffer long as he quietly and bravely left in the night. Lately, there’s been a lot that’s too big to talk about. Lonesome, lonely, heard it’s all the same.”

He shared photos and videos of himself with Hobbs, and none of them show a lack of love.

He added, “One of my favorite songs felt appropriate here, as I wonder what’s going on in his new world because I know what it’s like in mine. Not sure how spirits work, but come back and visit every once in a while so we can get in trouble and laugh again.”

Fans shared kind words with Dwayne Johnson after the passing of his dog.

One wrote, “Sending love to you and your family, brother. I know these days are tough, but the memories you all shared with Hobbs will stay with you, and they’ll bring comfort as you remember the good times.”

And this person shared a sweet reminder, “all dogs go to heaven.”
