A quiet sadness has fallen over those who knew him – Hurley, the beloved dog of Ant McPartlin, has passed away. The little dog, a constant companion through years of personal upheaval and joy, is deeply missed.
Ant and Lisa Armstrong welcomed Hurley into their lives in 2013, and he quickly became an integral part of their family. He wasn’t just a pet; he was a source of unconditional love, a furry confidant, and a miniature celebrity in his own right.
Hurley’s presence was particularly poignant during challenging times. He offered silent support during Ant’s struggles with addiction, even accompanying him during a visit to rehab, a testament to the powerful bond they shared.
The dog’s importance extended beyond Ant’s personal life, becoming a focal point during the couple’s divorce. A custody battle ensued, reflecting the deep affection both Ant and Lisa held for Hurley, ultimately leading to a shared custody arrangement.
Ant often spoke of Hurley with immense fondness, describing a loyalty and companionship that transcended words. He playfully recounted encounters with fans who recognized Hurley from the newspapers, acknowledging his unexpected fame.
Lisa Armstrong often shared glimpses of Hurley’s cheeky personality with the world, including a memorable video of him stubbornly refusing to move past a pub, lured by the promise of treats. It was a lighthearted moment that showcased the dog’s endearing character.
Though Hurley’s passing marks a profound loss, Ant now shares his life with other cherished companions, Milo and Bumble, his Maltipoo dogs, and recently welcomed his son, Wilder. The memories of Hurley, however, will undoubtedly remain.
Those who knew Hurley remember a beautiful dog whose love was freely given and deeply felt. He was a constant source of comfort and joy, leaving behind a legacy of unwavering loyalty and affection.
