Meghan Markle is mourning the loss of her beloved rescue dog, Guy. The 43-year-old Duchess of Sussex shared an emotional tribute to her late beagle on her Instagram on Tuesday January 7th 2025, reflecting on their ten years together.
In Her Own Words…
“In 2015, I adopted a beagle from a rescue in Canada,” she wrote. “He had been in a kill shelter in Kentucky, with only days to live. I brought him home… and instantly fell in love. They called him “the little guy” because he was so small and frail. I named him “Guy.” He truly was the best guy a girl could ask for.
Who Is This Guy…
Guy was by Meghan Markle’s side through major milestones, including her marriage to Prince Harry and the births of their children, Archie and Lilibet. “He was with me during Suits, through my engagement, my wedding, and when I became a mom,” she continued. “He shared in all of it: the quiet moments, the chaos, the calm, and the comfort.”
Markle also opened up about Guy’s resilience after a “terrible accident” before her move to the U.K. left him hospitalized for months and requiring multiple surgeries.

What The Doctors Said…
“Doctors said he’d never walk again, but Dr. Noel Fitzpatrick believed otherwise,” she shared. “H and I would make late-night trips to Surrey to visit Guy as he recovered for months. I’ll always be grateful to Noel, the Queen West Animal Hospital in Toronto, our current vets, and the friends and community who loved him as much as I did.”
Meghan Markle could perhaps benefit from booking a pet loss grief counselor on Petworks. A remote session would help her properly begin the grieving process.
