Julia Roberts Mourns Death of Beloved Dog Myrtle After 19 Years

Julia Roberts has said goodbye to a woman’s best friend.

In a touching tribute, the Oscar winner announced the sad news that her beloved dog Myrtle has died after spending 19 years together.

“Our Myrtle,” Julia wrote in a May 16 Instagram post alongside a picture of her furry friend sitting on a blanket outside. “A Legend. 2006-2025.”

The Pretty Woman star’s husband Danny Moder—with whom she shares twins Hazel and Phinnaeus, 20, and Henry, 17, as well as another pup named Lou—also mourned the passing of Myrtle with a lighthearted message.

“The definition of Fierce Loyalty, even if she bit the pizza man once,” he captioned his Instagram post, which included a close-up shot of the dog’s face. “RIP Mytlle…aka Myrtle Von Mertzenberger.”

Prior to her passing, Myrtle had made quite a few appearances on Danny’s social media. Indeed, the cinematographer once gushed about the joy both their dogs always exude.
