Tori’s Emotional Tribute
“Our Murphy left us today. 🤍,” Tori wrote. “He was the best dog we could have ever asked for. He loved us better than we deserved.

Tori went on to reflect on how difficult it is to say goodbye to pets who become such an important part of a family.
“It’s so hard that we get such a short amount of time with the animals that we love so much. I know that Murphy lived such a great life and I know he loved his family so much,” she shared.

“I love you so much, Murphy, go find Sully! 🤍,” Tori wrote.
