Julia Roberts, the Oscar winner, recently took to Instagram to share a heartwarming message about the passing of her and husband Danny Moder’s beloved dog, Myrtle. The couple had the joy of spending 19 wonderful years with Myrtle before saying goodbye to their furry friend. In a touching tribute, Julia posted a picture of Myrtle sitting on a blanket outside, with the caption, “Our Myrtle. A Legend. 2006-2025.”
Danny Moder, Julia’s husband, also expressed his sadness over Myrtle’s passing with a lighthearted message on Instagram. He fondly remembered Myrtle as the definition of Fierce Loyalty, despite a little mishap involving the pizza man. The post included a close-up shot of Myrtle’s face, along with the caption, “RIP Myrtle…aka Myrtle Von Mertzenberger.” Myrtle had made several appearances on Danny’s social media, and the couple’s kids, Hazel, Phinnaeus, and Henry, were close with the pup as well.
