“Lost” star Jorge Garcia said farewell to the long-running ABC show in May – but that wasn’t his only sad goodbye in Hawaii.
“It breaks my heart to tell you that yesterday as we were preparing to all go to the airport, Nunu was struck by a car as she crossed the street,” the actor wrote on his blog on Monday of his pet Chihuahua. “She died in my arms.”
He added that the beloved dog would be buried “in the Pet Garden at Valley of the Temples in Kaneohe, [Hawaii].”
“Nunu hated the water so we couldn’t bring ourselves to having her ashes scattered in the ocean,” he explained. “Three months from now you’ll be able to find a bronze plaque inscribed with just her name there. If you’d like to leave a flower or a toy, I’m sure she’d love it.”
Jorge, who played Hurley on the ABC series, has a number of pictures of his late dog, a prolific chewer, in action on his blog.
Sadly, Jorge isn’t the only star to recently lose a beloved pet in an airport-related accident.
In May, John Travolta and Kelly Preston’s two dogs were killed when they were struck by a service vehicle while being walked at Bangor International Airport in Maine.
