Nikki Gil lost a "perfect" friend.
Shared on Instagram last Friday, April 12, the actress-host penned a tearful farewell message for her Golden Retriever Charlie, who suffered from cancer.
"My sweet, sweet boy. Last night I lost you to cancer," she wrote. "And while my heart is broken in a million pieces, I take comfort in knowing that you are in doggy heaven running around in perfect health. I just wish I had more time with you, Charlie. Goodbye, my perfect friend. I love you with all my heart. #doncharlito".
In her vlog last 2017, Nikki shared a glimpse of her relationship with her fur baby.
"When I'm sad, Charlie is quick to run and lay next to me and my miserable self to keep me company. He is also a very good listener. On several occasions, I've found myself talking to Charlie about my day, about why I'm tired or why I'm crying,” she said.
Fellow pet lovers Kathryn Bernardo, Anne Curtis, Daniel Matsunaga, Maricar Reyes, and Carmi Martin sent their comforting words in the comments.


Nikki starred in "One More Chance" and "And I Love You So". She is now married to businessman BJ Albert. They have a son named Finn.
