Bruley, the loveable French Bulldog that captured our hearts on Netflix’s Queer Eye, has sadly passed away. The Fab Five’s furry friend, who actually belonged to one of the series producers, would hang out and watch the makeovers every episode.
Bruley’s owner, Michelle Silva, shared the sad news on Instagram.
Silva wrote, “My whole heart. My love bug. My best friend. My constant. My soul mate. My everything. I brought him home when he was 9 weeks old on a rainy day in New York City. Ten years later on a rainy day in LA, he passed away in my arms on my bedroom floor.
“Bru had been suffering from heart problems, and an instant heart attack was a possibility. He just had too much love and heart for his physical body. It all happened so fast, but I held him as he took his last breath, and I was able to tell him I loved him the very most. I told him every day I loved him more than anything in the world, and I reminded him of that over and over as he slipped out of this life.”
She continued, “Over the course of 16 episodes of @queereye, in just a few moments on screen, you guys all got a glimpse of the Bru I knew and loved. He was hilarious, stubborn, sometimes inappropriate, and always a sucker for a snack. He was pure love. It’s been so fun capturing his spirit and sharing more with you all here.”
RIP Bruley.
