‘Close to his heart’: Salma Hayek’s dog was shot dead at her home

Salma Hayek shared some really upsetting news yesterday when she posted on social media, telling her fans that her dog had been shot dead on the ranch where she lives.

"I haven't posted for a week as I been mourning the death of my dog, Mozart," Salma wrote on Instagram, "who I personally delivered out of his mother's womb. He was found dead in my ranch last Friday with a shot close to his heart.

 

I haven't posted for a week as I been mourning the death of my dog, Mozart who I personally delivered out of his mother's womb. He was found dead in my ranch last Friday with a shot close to his heart. I am hoping that the Washington State authorities do justice to this wonderful dog whom in 9 years never bit or attacked anyone. He loved his territory and never strayed away…he was the most loving and loyal companion. He didn't deserve a slow and painful death. #doglover #animalrights #dog #dogoftheday #rip #delivery #washingtonstateauthorities Hace una semana que no pongo nada ya que he estado de duelo por la muerte de mi perro Mozart. De quién fui la partera, lo encontramos el viernes pasado con un tiro cerca del corazón. Espero que las autoridades del estado de Washington le hagan justicia a este extraordinario perro que durante 9 años nunca mordió o atacó a nadie, adoraba su territorio y nunca se escapó. Era el compañero más leal y no se merecía una muerte lenta y dolorosa. #muerte #perro #justiciaporlosanimales

No details have been released about who shot Mozart or why it happened, but as dog lovers, we're hoping his death gets justified.
