Pamela Anderson mourns loss of pet dog Jo

Pamela Anderson has been left devastated by the death of her dog Jo.

The former Baywatch beauty – who has sons Brandon, 18, and Dylan, 17, with ex-husband Tommy Lee – has paid tribute to her  »sweet » pet after he passed away earlier today (09.25.14), but did not give any details on the exact cause of death.

Writing on her Facebook page, the 47-year-old said:  »Our sweet Jo passed away today… He still feels close… even closer somehow.. (sic) »

She added:  »Relentless love – will never leave our hearts. He taught us so much. »

Pamela was often spotted taking Jo for walks near her home and is a notable animal lover, working on behalf of the People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) to help ensure pets are properly cared for by their owners.

In a PETA video posted earlier this year, Pamela stripped to music and prepared to cuddle up next to what the audience is led to believe is a man, but is, in fact, her mutt.

Pamela posted the video on Valentine’s Day (02.14.14) as a means of raising awareness of the issue.

Last month, meanwhile, Pamela performed a U-turn on her decision to divorce Rick Salomon.

The twice-married couple looked to be heading for another divorce until Pamela filed a petition requesting the judge ignores her earlier efforts to make their split official.
