Julianne Hough, InstagramThe cause of death hasn’t been addressed but the fact that both of her dogs passed on the same day has fans thinking they were most likely put down.

Julianne wasn’t the only one in the family who was very close to the dogs as her husband Brooks Laich also posted a touching tribute to his dogs. The post said:
It is with the heaviest heart that I share with you the passing of our beloved dogs Lexi and Harley. Their tragic passing has left my wife and me heartbroken. Lexi and Harley were not just pets to us, they were our children, and we loved them as such.
Brroks Laich, InstagramHe continued to discuss how the dogs were the ones who taught him about the purity of love and how past the weeks were leading up to their death, he said:
They were the purest example to love that I have ever seen. They showed me that true love did exist in the world. The way they loved their mom @juleshough and the way she loved them back was the first time I knew that there was hope for me to have love in my life. And they accepted me into their little family, and helped me become a dad for the first time.”
Brooks Laich, InstagramThe past 2 weeks have been filled with tears of sorrow, and tears of joy. The immense pain we feel from their loss is due to the overwhelming love we had for them. Every single beautiful part of them will be missed, but we trust that they are in a better place now, and can still feel their presence in our hearts.
Brooks Leich, InstagramThe couple still share their adopted husky, Koda
Six months after her dogs’ death, Brooks posted a tribute post remembering Lexi and Harley as it was international pets day. The picture was of him with his adopted husky, Koda and read:
On the one hand, I am so grateful that this boy found me. He is a soul companion, he lives for adventure and every second of the day is playtime. He is also incredibly loving and compassionate; just the sweetest boy on earth. On the other hand, it was just over 6 months ago that we lost our girls Lexi and Harley. Words cannot describe the gifts that they gave, and I still feel their presence to this day.
