Outpouring of love for Kerri-Anne Kennerley following sad loss

Kerri-Anne Kennerley has shared a sad update following the loss of her pet dog,  Digger. 

The former TV presenter took to Instagram to share a series of photos of the moments she shared with her dog, that she raised since he was a pup. 

"Digger is now at peace," she began the post. 

"He was the most loving dog. He missed John and my mum dearly. These photos tell a lot of his story."

She shared a family photo of her posing with her late husband John, with baby Digger in her arms. In a few other photos she shared a much older digger playing with her mum, standing next to a flower, and covered in mud to highlight the dog's friendly personality. 

"He loved water… except a bath. He absolutely loved playing in the mud. He was so smiley and always fetched me toys.

"He used to sleep in our bed. He was never grumpy and never had a fight in his life. All my love Digger, love mum," she concluded the post.

Fellow celebrities rushed to the comments to comfort the 69-year-old. 

"Oh KAK I'm so sorry! I know how much you loved him, and he you 💔You were both blessed," fellow TV presenter Melissa Doyle said. 

"Sending you so much love darling heart. What a wonderful baby he was," actor Hugh Sheridan wrote.

"Lots of love honey. Hope the wonderful memories help 🙏🏼💙" Home and Away actress Lynne McGranger wrote. 

"Sending you lots of love beautiful angel, so sorry for your loss. We send you big hugs & love, Mitchie and Mark❤️" the Block stars Mitchie and Mark wrote.

"Sending lots of love ❤️" Jess Rowe wrote. 

The loss comes after the former TV presenter recently commemorated her and her late husband's 39th wedding anniversary.

The pair got married in 1984, and John passed away in 2019 after many health struggles following a fall in 2016 that resulted in a neck injury which caused him to be paralysed.
