WOW!! Serena Williams writes touching tribute to her late dog

Aww...se ki awa gba aso-ebi ni? Lol. Serena Williams posted an emotional tribute to her dog, 16-year-old Jackie, who died on Tuesday, November 24. The World Tennis Champ was 17 when she brought the Jack Russell Terrier home. Read the tribute after the cut...

Today really is hard for me. My special friend in which I got at 17 (2 weeks before I won my very first Grand Slam) left me today. She was 16 years young and up until a few days ago was still sprinting. Her poor body gave out this morning and she had a way of telling me it was time for me to be brave and let her go. With my dad by my side we were able to say a loving goodbye. She was with me from 1999 until today and I miss her so much. I got out of the shower this afternoon and she was not there to lick my leg as she always did everyday to remind me how much she loved me. I feel so lucky to have such a special friend. Give your dog, cat, pet a big hug. ‪#‎breakingheart‬ ‪#‎bff‬ Jackie Baila Pete Williams I will miss you and your memory will live forever.
