ABC

Carrie Underwood is mourning the loss of her beloved pet. 

On Monday, hours after she appeared at the Grammy Awards, the superstar revealed the sad news that her dog, Ace, has passed away. In a heartfelt tribute post to the pup, Carrie shared that Ace journeyed with her through many phases of her life, from touring the world to welcoming her two sons, Isaiah and Jacob

“He was there for me when I was on my own trying to figure out life when it was at its craziest! He was with me through 3 houses, 6 tours and 2 kids…always ready to snuggle and play…through all the highs and lows,” she writes alongside a gallery of photos that show her giving Ace a sweet smooch and an adorable photo of him posing in front of a Christmas tree with an Elf of the Shelf on his back. “He will forever live on in our hearts and be forever missed.” 

The singer also referred to the rat terrier as a “true friend and a good boy till the very end.” 

Carrie has made her passion for animals well known. She grew up on a farm in her hometown of Checotah, OK and has been a vegetarian since the age of 13. Carrie and family have two other dogs, Penny and Zero.
