Shannon Beador is grieving the loss of her beloved golden retriever, Archie, who passed away at the age of 10. The 'Real Housewives of Orange County' star shared the heartbreaking news on Instagram, posting a joyful photo of her pup on the beach with dove emojis floating above him.
"Heaven has a new special angel. Archie passed away yesterday and the girls and I are heartbroken," Beador wrote.
She described Archie as more than a pet—he was a protector, a best friend, and the true "man" of the house. Over the past decade, Archie became a fan favorite on RHOC, even winning a "Best Appearance" award at Bravocon.
Beador's daughter, Stella, flew home from Paris to spend Archie's final day with him, fulfilling his favorite activities: standing in the ocean, lounging in the park, and enjoying a feast. The family's other dog, Troy, has been searching for Archie, adding to the sorrow.
"I'm happy Archie is a very special angel in heaven and is swimming, running, and playing catch with no more pain," Beador added, promising more tributes to come. She urged fellow pet owners to hug and kiss their animals in memory of her faithful companion.
Rest in peace, Archie. Good boy.
