“Born the same day John and I got married, 11 years ago, she was there for us for every baby, every loss, every joy,” Teigen wrote in a heartfelt publish alongside a carousel of images of Penny.
“She loved nothing more than being loved, having her nub rubbed and destroying any ball she could get her paw on, even til her last weeks.”
Legend, 46, added within the feedback, “I loved this girl. We will miss you, Penny.”
Teigen, 39, mirrored on the bond they shared with Penny, emphasizing the deep emotional connection households typically really feel with their pets.
“Never forget that while every pup is just a few chapters in your long life, for them you are their entire book, their entire lives,” she wrote. “Oh Penny. We were so beyond lucky to have you. Say hi to Puddy and Pippa for us. You are all together again.”

And so once you go through those experiences together, it just helps build the character of your relationship.”
The couple now shares three canine: poodle Petey, basset hound Pearl, and their latest addition, Pebbles.
