Cindy Crawford revealed the news that she and her family had suffered a devastating loss as their dog died. 

The natural beauty, 59, shared the sad news on social media Friday morning, posting sweet snaps of the pooch who had been a part of her family for nearly two decades. 

In a sweet eulogy for the adorable pup, the supermodel wrote about overcoming her fear of dogs for her kids after being bitten a couple of times as a child. 

‘After I had kids, I knew I didn’t want to pass my fear of dogs along to them, so we got two small dogs — that weren’t too scary ;)’ she told her 8.2 million followers. 

 ‘What I didn’t know was how much fun having little furry friends adds to family life,’ she said.

‘I loved watching my kids chase our dogs around or dress them up or just cuddle up together on the couch. And as my kids grew older, and our dogs too, their friendly presence continued to bring joy to our lives.’

Revealing the sad news, the Meaningful Beauty co-founder wrote, ‘We had to say goodbye to our little girl Widget yesterday.’

Describing the lively pooch, Crawford wrote, ‘She was a puppy for 17 years and we will miss her. Hopefully she is eating endless snacks with her “sister” Sugar somewhere in doggy heaven.’

‘Beautiful! Dogs are lovely! I used to be scared of them but confronted my fear and we got a dog we had her 15 whole years and now I feel stuck she’s no longer here! Xx’ wrote a fan who had overcome a similar fear. 

’17 years of unconditional love is something to grieve. Sorry all of you.❤️’ wrote fellow supermodel Paulina Porizkova in condolence. 

‘So sorry for your loss. There’s nothing like the love of a family dog. 17 years is a long life and I’m sure Widget will be missed by all,’ said model Christy Turlington.

He first asked for friends and fans to send ‘good thoughts and energy, his way in his Instagram Stories.
