The Big Bang Theory star Kaley Cuoco has shared an emotional post announcing the death of her and partner Tom Pelphrey's dog Blue.

The actress confirmed the sad news on Instagram as she noted that this is the third dog they've had to put down in the past year following the passings of Dump Truck and King.

"BLUE I have cried harder over the loss of this gorgeous creature than I have in a long time," she wrote on a series of photos of the late German Shepherd. "We have had to put down three dogs in the last year and this one has made me reflect…

"I’m crying for @tommypelphrey…. The relationship he had with Blue was so special. They were quite the duo. Traveling the country as a team… job to job then driving home to California where we all settled as a family together!"

Kaley admitted her "first year with Blue was rough to say the least" as the dog "didn’t love me the way he loved Tom", quipping: "I had never experienced this before. All dogs love me!

"I could tell he was wondering why I was still here? lol Tom was his, and he didn’t want to share. Then I finally understood because I felt the same way about Tom. My love is so deep for him sometimes I didn’t want to share him with the world either."

However, she recalled that after a while "Blue finally realized we were a family and we were all sticking together" and that "something changed".

"He was amazing," Kaley continued. "Protective of me and the rest of our pup crew, always on guard. I felt so safe home alone with him and when anyone came to the door I would put Blue on the leash and have him sit right next to me. No one dared mess with us!"

Following the birth of their daughter Matilda, the actress revealed that "Blue turned to mush like the rest of us" and "was so gentle with her and kind".

"He was the quiet mascot of our home but Tom was and will always be his one and only," she added. "They saved each other. I think this hit deep because I felt their relationship was similar to me and [late dog] Norman’s. I know that love and pain and many have felt this too!

"We are so lucky to be loved by animals. They are gifts from above and we have been given the honor to cherish them on this earth. To be their voices. To teach our children how to treat them and how to love them.

"Blue, it was an honor to be your second favorite human down here on earth. I can’t wait for you to meet Norman, Sasha, Kingy, and Dumps. Oh the adventures you will have!" Kaley concluded.

Tom also shared his own tribute to Blue on his Instagram page, saying he was "heartbroken" by the loss.
