Paris Hilton‘s pint sized pup, Tinkerbell is dead. The star is mourning the loss on all of her social media outlets just as any pet parent would in this inevitable yet devastating situation. US Magazine reported Tuesday that the star’s famous chihuahua died of natural causes at 14 years of age.
Hilton’s fluffy-four-legged-fashion accessory used to share the lime light with the heiress frequently as she was toted along and smooched for fans on a regular basis- however in the past few years her appearances seem to have been traded in for younger models. Paris has been documented and scrutinized for her purchasing pattern of tinier and younger dogs the past few years, as she came under fire for bragging about purchasing the “tiniest Pomeranian.”
In a social media statement on Instagram, Paris stated:
“My heart is broken. I am so sad & devastated. After 14 amazing years together my baby Tinkerbell has passed away of old age. I feel like I’ve lost a member of my family. She was such a special & incredible soul. We went through so much together. I can’t believe she’s gone. I will miss her & think about her for the rest of my life. I love you Tinky, you are a Legend & will never be forgotten.”
Pushed out of the spotlight by the new additions over the last couple years, the heiress fielded frequent questions if Tinkerbell was still alive. So, in October 2014 Paris released a statement and video assuring dog loving fans that she was still alive and well. The pup may have been snuffed out of the spotlight before her time, but Tinkerbell lived a long life and died of natural causes on Tuesday April 21, 2015.

The 3 year old Alaskan Husky named Sarabi was lost after her “musher” Laura Allaway dropped her leash due to an aggravated shoulder. Despite attempts to locate the dog through fliers and networking, no sightings were made for nearly 3 weeks and nearly all hope was lost.
Allaway told ABC News:
“I was pretty sure that she wasn’t around anymore after 3 weeks of no confirmed sighting.”
Laura Allaway, 33, is a suburban Milwaukee, Wisconsin native and is currently residing in Fairbanks, Alaska. According to Iditarod.com, she had 10 sled dogs and 2 pet dogs.
As if by miracle, the lost sled dog Sarabi was spotted in the yard of the Rev. Tim Carrick of the United Protestant Presbyterian Church in Palmer, Alaska. After feeding and coaxing efforts, the dog was finally safely captured. Laura Allaway is currently traveling, but Sarabi was returned to the care of a close friend who plans to reunite the musher to her dog as soon as she returns.
