Dogs are a major part of any family and when you lose these beloved buddies, it's hard on the owners and all those who loved the animal.

The "Queer Eye" cast is mourning the sudden loss of Bruley, the French bulldog who always made cameos on the show.

Taking to social media, the dog's owner, the show and its cast all spoke out and shared fun images with the furry buddy in his memory.

In a lengthy post Thursday, the owner of Bruley and a producer on the show, Michelle Silva, explained, "My whole heart. My love bug. My best friend. My constant. My soul mate. My everything. I brought him home when he was 9 weeks old on a rainy day in New York City. Ten years later on a rainy day in LA, he passed away in my arms on my bedroom floor."

She explained that after heart issues, a heart attack was always a possibility.

"He just had too much love and heart for his physical body. It all happened so fast, but I held him as he took his last breath, and I was able to tell him I loved him the very most. I told him everyday I loved him more than anything in the world, and I reminded him of that over and over," she continued.

So many supported the owner in the comments section for the post, including other famous dogs.

"I love u forever Bruley. I'm so sorry," Doug the pug wrote, while Pickle the Pig added, "I am so sad. I loved Bru so much! He will be missed!!!!! He made such a huge impact in the time he was here."

The show posted a montage of pics, writing, "RIP to our dear bru bru! Each time we returned to our loft in Kansas City you were always there to greet us and that brought us so much joy. We hope you have an endless supply of treats to munch on."

You were the best little sidekick we could have had. You will be very missed by all including your mama @tinsely_ who my heart goes out to right now. I love YOU."

The official Bruley Instagram account sweetly replied, "It's no secret now. You were my favorite Uncle. Thank you for loving me and my mama."
