Former “Vanderpump Rules” star Kristen Doute is mourning the loss of her dog, Bowie. On April 21, Doute took to her Instagram Stories to share that Bowie had died.
She first shared a couple of photos of Bowie along with songs that reminded her of how she feels about him. The first song she chose was “How Long Will I Love You” by Ellie Goulding. She also played “In My Life” by The Beatles and “See You Again” by Wiz Khalifa.
“Our last photo together,” Doute captioned a pic of Bowie sleeping with his tongue out. “Rest in peace, paradise, and everything your puppy dreams are made of,” she continued, adding, “I love you so much, sweet boy. You know what’s true? You saved me so I was lucky to also save you.” Doute chose a photo of Bowie to be the wallpaper on her phone as a tribute to him as well.
Doute stars on the new series “The Valley,” which is a spinoff of VPR. She appears on the show alongside her boyfriend, Luke Broderick, and a few of her close friends, including Brittany Cartwright and Jax Taylor.
