Over the course of the pandemic, a lot has been said about the comfort of pets. It makes sense that adoption rates have soared over the last few months when so much is uncertain, having a sweet dog or cat to cuddle and care for can make a huge difference to peoples well-being.

The chaos of this time also makes pet loss even harder to deal with. But thats what Prince William and Kate Middleton , along with their three children, are facing now. On Sunday, the couple announced that their dog Lupo, who has been at the heart of our family for the last nine years, has died.

We will miss him so much, the couple wrote.
