Meghan Markle recently shared the heartbreaking news of the passing of her cherished beagle, Guy, who touched many lives with his story of resilience and love. Guy, a rescue dog from a kill shelter in Kentucky, found his forever home with Meghan in 2015 after being given just a few days to live. Over the years, he became an inseparable part of her life, accompanying her through significant milestones and gracing the screens in Meghan's Netflix series "With Love, Meghan."
Guy made a memorable cameo in episode four of the series, where Meghan lovingly prepared a special batch of peanut butter dog biscuits for him. This appearance allowed her to share his story and express why she was so profoundly affected by his loss. Meghan took to Instagram in January to announce Guy's passing over the Christmas period, sharing a touching tribute that read: "In Loving Memory of Guy." The production team made a last-minute addition to the series, including a tribute to Guy at the end of episode eight.
Meghan's Instagram tribute was filled with heartfelt reflections on her time with Guy:
"If you followed me on Instagram back in the day, you saw a lot of him – and on The Tig too."
Guy was more than just a pet; he was a constant companion throughout Meghan's journey from her days on "Suits" to her engagement and marriage, and even as she stepped into motherhood.
"He was with me at Suits, when I got engaged, (and then married), when I became a mom….he was with me for everything: the quiet, the chaos, the calm, the comfort."
His unwavering presence offered comfort during both chaotic and tranquil times. Meghan expressed her hope that viewers of her Netflix series would understand her grief and come to appreciate Guy's charm:
"Because many of you will now see Guy in this new series, I hope you’ll come to understand why I am so devastated by his loss. I think you may fall a little bit in love too."
The bond between Meghan and Guy was unmistakable, as she penned a heartfelt message of gratitude for his companionship:
"Thank you for so many years of unconditional love, my sweet Guy. You filled my life in ways you’ll never know. As ever, Meghan"
Guy's impact on Meghan's life was profound, and she often spoke about his adaptable nature and how he was always there when she needed him:
"I would do anything for Guy, he knows it. He can do whatever he wants because he will be whatever guy you need depending on the day. My sweet guy my silly guy my saucy little guy, always my spoiled guy. He's also my old guy."
