Sarah Hyland Mourns Dog
Last week, the newlyweds each posted tributes on their individual Instagram accounts sharing the news that their pup had passed.
“Our gentle giant Carl, You were our protector, our best hug giver, and the light of our lives,” Hyland captioned a carousel of pics of the pup.
“Thank you for being the greatest friend anyone could ask for,” she continued. “I’ll love you forever. You’ll always be my best big boy, dad’s best friend, and Boo’s first love,” she continued. “We’ll cuddle in our sleep.”

He also posted his own tribute to the departed canine, stating, “Trying to type this through tears, but it’s with a heavy heart I must tell you that @carlthebloodhound has gone to doggy heaven.”
He continued: “Carl, you were such a good guy. A true gentle giant. You were sweet, noisy, protective, and slobbery, and boy did you give the best hugs! You were the best boy I’ve ever known.”

“I hope you thought I was a good dad. We’ve been through so much and I there’s no way I would be here without you. Carlos the blooder, know that mom, dad, and boo love you forever,” he wrote. “I hope you visit me all the time in my dreams to play tug of war.”
The bereaved dog dad added, “My jogs will never be the same but I’ll make sure to stop by the trees where the squirrels are in case you’re still running with me. You’ll always be my big ole hounder. I love you.”
Fans of Adams and “The Bachelorette” might remember that the celebrity adopted Carl in 2014, and that his fur baby featured prominently in his audition vid for the show, on which he appeared two years later.
“In my video, I’m sitting in my house on the couch, and I’m like, ‘My name’s Wells and I’m a DJ.’ Carl walks into the shot in the background, and I’m like, ‘Oh yeah, that’s my dog Carl. If the girl on the TV show doesn’t like dogs, then you can just count me out. I won’t come to the show,'” he told People.
Rest in peace, buddy.
