Just months after losing her father, “Alias” star Jennifer Garner is mourning yet another devastating loss as she bids farewell to her cherished pet.
A day before Thanksgiving, Jennifer Garner is grieving the loss of her beloved dog, Birdie. The actress broke the news to her fans on Instagram in a tearful statement, referring to Birdie as “the world’s best dog.”

“It is hard to know how to write this—it seems nuts, given the world, to mourn a pet, but since we have shared Birdie with all of you, it only seems fair to let you know of her passing,” Jennifer wrote. She explained that Birdie had suddenly fallen ill on Thursday, and a visit to the vet revealed her pet was at the end of her life.

Given that Birdie appeared to wait for one of her kids to return from college, Jennifer was appreciative of the timing. As a result, the family was able to spend their last time together, stroking Birdie’s tender ears and expressing gratitude for the love she had given them.

 

Birdie was more than just a pet to the actress; she was a cherished family member. Jennifer’s well-liked Instagram series, “Pretend Cooking Show,” often featured the golden retriever, who particularly enjoyed reading to people. In addition, she was a therapy dog that made many people happy and comfortable.

“She lived a happy dog life and is now in the role she was born to play: angel girl. It’s a gift to love and be loved by such a creature as Birdie the Doggie. ,” Jennifer shared, accompanied by photos and videos of her time with Birdie.

In one video, Jennifer read “Pete’s a Pizza,” a work by William Steig, to the two as they relaxed on a sofa, both wearing reading glasses. Another showed her holding Birdie and singing to her, playingfully using Birdie’s paws to join in.

Jennifer’s heartfelt post resonated deeply with her followers and drew an outpouring of condolences from friends and celebrities. “Black-ish” star Tracee Ellis Ross commented, “ these furry beings bring so much goodness.” Meanwhile, “Friends” alum Jennifer Aniston added, “Oh Jen…I’m so sorry. Sending so much love.”

They worked side by side and shared enjoyable moments for three hours as they served 2,000 homeless and near-homeless people at the non-profit’s annual Thanksgiving meal.

Ben donned a brown button-down shirt and remained near their kids, while Jennifer wore a navy sweater and her hair pulled back in a ponytail. Ben also celebrated his first Thanksgiving without Jennifer Lopez, his estranged wife.
