Snoop Dogg is mourning the passing of his cherished French bulldog, Juelz, a beloved companion for a decade. On Wednesday, June 11th, the 53-year-old rapper broke the heart-wrenching news to his Instagram followers with a poignant tribute dedicated to his loyal friend. "Rest in Peace, @juelzbroadus," Snoop penned in his initial post, expressing gratitude, "Thank you, Wiz, for bestowing him upon me." According to TMZ, Juelz was a heartfelt gift from fellow rapper Wiz Khalifa, presented to Snoop on his 43rd birthday in 2014.
Accompanying the message was a poignant video of Juelz perched serenely in the front seat of a car, with Weldon Irvine's "Morning Sunrise" playing softly in the background, encapsulating a moment of tranquility between the star and his furry companion. Soon after, Snoop shared a second video, a nostalgic slideshow of photos spanning the years, depicting Juelz in countless cherished moments with the rapper, his family, and friends. The follow-up post was captioned with a touching message, "I miss my dogg @juelzbroadus," accompanied by the emotional track "See You Again" by Wiz Khalifa and Charlie Puth.
Fans swiftly flooded the comments with outpourings of support and commiseration. "I wish dogs could live forever," penned one follower. Another added, "Ten years for a Frenchie is incredible; I bet he lived the most fabulous life." Another heartfelt comment read, "Losing a dog is harder than losing a person, I'll say it." Another fan expressed, "I'm deeply sorry for your loss. Losing our furry kids is like losing a family member."
Juelz had his own social media spotlight, with an Instagram account dedicated to chronicling his life by Snoop's side. The last update, posted in June 2021, showed the playful pup gazing into the camera with the whimsical caption, "Whatcha lookin' at?"
