Our fur babies enrich our lives beyond measure, but they never stay with us long enough.

Such is the case for thePioneer Woman, Ree Drummond, and her beloved dog Walter.

Drummond posted the sad news on July 12 that the Basset Hound had died.

“Goodbye, sweet wonderful Walter,“she mourned on Instagram.

Go find your brother Charlie and have some fun, ol' boy.”

Country superstar Trisha Yearwood wrote, “Sending you all the love, my friend.

Love walks on all paws.”

Son Bryce Drummond echoed, “The best to ever do it.”

Walter could also be frequently seen saying hi at the Lodge on Drummond Ranch.

Sadly, Charlie crossed the Rainbow Bridge in 2017.

Run free, Walter, and thank you for brightening so many lives.
