Gus Kenworthy Writes Heartbreaking Post After His Rescue Dog Dies Suddenly

The Olympian rescued the puppy from a dog meat farm in South Korea during the 2018 Winter Games in Pyeongchang.

Gus Kenworthy has shared the heartbreaking news that his beloved dog Beemo has died suddenly.

Kenworthy rescued the puppy from a dog meat farm in South Korea during the 2018 Winter Games in Pyeongchang. The Olympian has been proudly showing off Beemo on his Instagram account, as well as with one of her own.

Kenworthy said he and boyfriend Matt Wilkas began worrying about her when she started to show less interest in her food. A scan showed she had been born with a heart that was too big for her body. Her lungs were also deteriorating, and an attempt to treat her proved fruitless.

"The past two days have been a blur," Kenworthy writes. "It all happened so fast that it's still hard to believe it."

"The ER doc told us that even if we'd somehow spotted the issue earlier it wouldn't have made a difference in the end. He said that she'd been living on 'borrowed time' from the get go. Beemo was truly the best thing that ever happened to me and I feel so fortunate for our borrowed time together. I've never loved anything or anyone in the way that I loved that dog and she is and will always be deeply missed," he continues.

"She was so smart and playful. She brought so much happiness to so many people every single day," he says. "I'll always remember being out on a walk with her and every other second she would get stopped by someone wanting to pet her, kneel down and kiss her, hold her in their arms or take a photo and on many occasions a crowd of people would have formed around her. That was her power: she made people smile. She was the kindest, most gentle soul I've ever known. She loved people. She loved birds and the snow. She loved me and Matt. But most of all she loved meeting other dogs."

"If any of you have pets up in doggy heaven please tell them to go find Bee because she could really use a good play date right now. RIP sweet creature - your daddy loves you more than you could ever even know!"
