‘Jersey Shore’s’ Vinny Guadagnino Suffers Devastating Family Loss

The Jersey Shore cast is not as prominent as it once was. However, enough of them keep fans updated on social media that hardcore can still follow their lives as they are all now older, and many are raising families of their own. For one member, though, there was a recent tragedy, and Vinny Guadagnino had to say goodbye to a loved one.
Here is what happened with Vinny and the good wishes fans sent his way.
Vinny Guadagnino Suffers Tragicv Loss
Vinny Guadagnino, 37, was a member of the Jersey Shore cast in all six seasons from 2009 to 2012. He then tried to get more roles as an actor and even had a talk show on MTV for a short time. He returned with Jersey Shore: Family Vacation in 2018.

Sadly, Vinny posted on Instagram on Wednesday that his beloved dog, Tita, died. Vinny adopted Tita, whom he called his best friend, when she was six months old. She had been with him for the last 21 years, and he posted a heartfelt goodbye to the dog.
“She’s been there for me through 12 years of ups and downs, multiple house changes and always just adapted fine and happily like the resilient girl she is,” Vinny said. “It’s been her and I all this time, and it feels like a part of me is gone…but I’ll never stop loving her.”
The Instagram post included several photos of Vinny and Tita together. One had them sitting outside with Tita looking up into Vinny’s face. Another had him squatting down and petting the dog. There was also a video of them loving each other with Vinny laughing.
There was also a video of them playing in the pool, one of Pita giving Vinny lots of licks on the floor, a few photos of Pita sleeping and sitting with the family, and one final picture of Tita as a little puppy.

Some Jersey Shore fans started a Reddit thread, spreading the sad news of Tita’s death. They then sent their best wishes, with the OP writing, ” Say what you want about Vinny, but he loved her and she was his rock through his anxiety.”
