AceShowbiz - Reese Witherspoon is mourning the heartbreaking loss of her beloved Black Labrador, Hank. The actress took to her Instagram Story on August 6, 2024, to pay tribute to her furry friend with a photo of him at their doorstep. "We will miss your sweet spirit, Hank," she wrote. "Thank you for being the best family pet and the pack leader."
Back in 2020, Witherspoon also lost her French Bulldog, Pepper, to an aggressive cancer. She shared a heartfelt Instagram post, remembering Pepper's loyalty, sassiness, and the special bond they shared. "She enjoyed playing with our Labrador, Hank, and would make everyone laugh with her surprisingly speedy 'zoomies,'" her daughter Ava Phillippe reminisced.
Witherspoon, who is a vocal animal lover and activist, previously named her pug Hank after country singer Hank Williams. The actress has frequently shared her love for her pets on social media, posting photos of them on various occasions.
The loss of her canine companions has left Witherspoon and her family devastated. The passing of Hank marks the second time in four years that the actress has mourned the loss of a beloved pet, following Pepper's passing in 2020. Hank and Pepper will be deeply missed by all who knew and loved them, and their memory will live on in the hearts of their family.
