Heather Tom Mourns the Loss of Her Beloved Dog, Henry

Please join us in sending our condolences to THE BOLD & THE BEAUTIFUL’s Heather Tom (Katie), who had to say a final goodbye to her family’s beloved dog, Henry. “Yesterday, my beautiful boy passed away,” the Daytime Emmy winner announced on Instagram, sharing some wonderful personal photos she’d taken of her Australian Shepherd over the years. “Henry shared our lives for almost 16 wonderful years.”

In her tribute to her family’s four-legged member, the B&B star listed a few of her favorite things about Henry. “I will miss running on the beach and going on long hikes with him,” Tom continued. “He had the best puppy dog eyes, and he used them every chance he got to finagle a chicken bite or even better, bacon! He was a kind, gentle majestic beast and we will love him forever.”

After Tom shared her family’s sad news, the comments on her post filled up with messages of sympathy from fans and friends, including her co-stars from B&B and THE YOUNG & THE RESTLESS, where she previously played Victoria. “So sorry sis!” shared Katherine Kelly Lang (Brooke, B&B). “Love you and thinking about you!” Meanwhile, Lauralee Bell (Christine, Y&R), acknowledged that losing a beloved furbaby is “incredibly hard! Thinking of you and sending love!”
