The Brady-Bundchen family has met with bad news as they come together to mourn a canine member of their family. Just a few days before Christmas, Tom Brady and his former wife, Gisele Bundchen, and their children suffered a painful loss as they rested their family dog, Lua, to sleep.
Last Saturday, the NFL legend and the former Victoria’s Secret supermodel separately announced the sad news over their Instagram accounts. Brady posted two stories with pictures of Lua and his children hugging her.
We love you, Lua. Forever in our hearts. Brady wrong on his Instagram story
On the other hand, his ex-wife, Bundchen, posted a 10-picture carousel as a tribute to their dog, including her pictures with Lua and some playful memories with him.
Our little Lulu, our guardian angel is gone to heaven. She will forever live in our hearts. She captioned the picture series in both English and Portuguese languages.
Lua, a pit bull mix, has been a core member of Brady and Gisele’s lives. She even appeared in the Ugg commercial in 2014, alongside the former New York Patriots quarterback. Just last year, the couple ended their 13 years of marriage, and it has already been a tough year for the family.
Tom Brady’s love for his dog and his time spent at the animal shelter with kids
During his time at Tampa Bay, the former NFL quarterback volunteered at an animal shelter along with Logan Ryan. He has always been a dog lover. After he announced his retirement from the NFL, Ryan’s wife enlightened the media and fans with a lovely story about Brady.
That’s not all; as per the popular personality herself, for an entire soccer season, the quarterback volunteered at the animal shelter together with his kids. He used to join his kids in naming the puppies and feeding the kittens with bottles while holding them. Every other week, Brady used to go there and pay his contributions.

Lua has been with the Bradys for a long time since Giselle and Tom were still married. In fact, she had been with them for the last few years of their marriage as a family.
