Orlando Bloom and Katy Perry are mourning the loss of their missing dog, Mighty, who went astray near Montecito, California.
Bloom took to Instagram on Wednesday (July 22) to share the heartbreaking news. "Mighty’s on the other side now. After 7 days of searching from sunrise to sunset and into the wee hours, today, the 7th day ~the number of completion~ we found his collar," the actor, 43, captioned a timelapse video of him getting a tattoo in honor of his fallen canine. "I have wept more this week than I thought possible, which has been very cathartic and healing… I left no stone unturned, crawled thru all the man holes, under the roads, searched every back yard and creek bed."
Bloom went on to share his love for Mighty, admitting that the pet taught him "that love is eternal and the true meaning of devotion." "I feel sure he was looking down on me whistling in every back yard and knowing that I was doing all I possibly could to respect our bond," he continued. "He was more than a companion. It was a soul connection for sure. I’m sorry. I love you. Thank you. RIP my MIGHTY HEART my little fellow A ♠️’s."
As for Perry, the pregnant pop star paid tribute to Mighty on her Twitter account, writing, "We’ll miss our little buddy boy, Nugget’s brother so much. Forever a paw shaped hole in our hearts."
Bloom, who adopted Mighty in 2017, had previously admitted to feeling "powerless" over his missing canine. He even took to social media to share several photos of the dog, pleading with users to be on the lookout. That message prompted stars like Gwyneth Paltrow and Danish supermodel Helena Christensen to share their support for the star.
