Julianne Hough Pays Tribute To Late Dogs With Touching Funeral
Losing a beloved pet can be an exceptionally difficult time in a person’s life. Five years ago, Dancing With The Stars hostess Julianne Hough lost her two dogs at the same time.
Back then, she remained quiet about the cause of death. Recently, she shared that a coyote attack tragically took the lives of her Cavalier King Charles Spaniels, Harley and Lexi.
On the five-year anniversary of their death, the dancer shared heartbreaking photos from the funeral she held for them. See what she shared.

In an interview with The Jamie Kern Lima Show, Julianne Hough revealed her dogs were killed during an incredibly vulnerable time in her life. She just separated from her husband Brooks Laich when the attack happened.
“I felt so out of integrity or out of like, alignment,” the dancer shared. “My dogs that represented unconditional love and safety — gone.”
Even after all this time, Lexi and Harley are still on her heart. She commemorated the heartbreaking anniversary with photos from their funeral.
“September 28th, 2019 🕊️” the DWTS hostess shared on Instagram. I love you Lexi and Harley ❤️ Hard to believe it’s been 5 years without you in this 3D world.”
