Perrie Edwards mourns the death of her long-time pet dog

Singer Perrie Edwards has shared an emotional tribute on Instagram following the death of her 14-year-old Pomeranian, Hatchi. Edwards, a member of the group Little Mix, described the dog as ‘one of the greatest gifts I have ever been given’ and ‘my little shadow.’

Edwards originally adopted Hatchi in 2012 alongside her former partner, Zayn Malik. The pet accompanied the singer through various life milestones, including traveling the world on tour with Little Mix. In her post, Edwards expressed that her ‘heart is completely broken’ and noted that the house feels emptier without the dog’s presence.

Following the announcement, fans and colleagues, including Little Mix bandmate Jade Thirlwall, offered messages of sympathy and support.
