'She was my rock. My go-to when I needed to talk' Kellie Harrington and wife heartbroken over loss

For some people, their pets are part of the family and this week Kellie Harrington and her wife Mandy were left heartbroken as they had to say goodbye to their dog.

For Kellie, her dog Macy was her rock, there for her when she needed her, with a wag of a tail and always pleased to see her.

At the age of nearly 15, Kellie posted an array of pictures of her over the years and the fun they had together.

Telling family and friends the news on her social media she said ‘My Best Pal Macy who would have been 15 years old on May 23 has passed away. I can’t even begin to explain how Mandy and I are feeling. Macy was such a sweetheart, always there to meet you with a wagging tail, lick or nibble.’

She went on to say how ‘She was my rock, my go-to when I needed to talk. She lived to give love and to be loved. She has given us the best 14.5 years of our lives. To some people, she was just a dog, but to us, she was our best friend and companion. She was absolutely everything to us and we were absolutely everything to her. She’s been through it all with us, and we have been through it all with her.’

Finishing her heartbreaking post, she said ‘Our hearts are truly broken. Why do I feel the need to come on here and say all this, well I guess I just want to remind you all of how much a sweet little girl she was, and that all animals deserve so much love and affection. Out BEST FRIEND.’

The couple have always included their dogs, Macy and their French Bulldog Nidge in every part of their lives, even their wedding day.

Speaking to Dublin Live in the past Kellie said ‘It wouldn’t be a special day if we didn’t have our little fur babies with us. They are part of the family.’
