RHONJ’s Margaret Josephs shares sad news about her beloved Bella

The Real Housewives of New Jersey might be all about the drama, but at the same time, these ladies all seem to be pet parents as well. In just about every episode, we see a glimpse of these pets. And they become just as important to the story as the ladies themselves. In fact, there have been plenty of scenes in some of the episodes dedicated to the dogs of RHONJ, right down to a season 14 doggy pool party.

Sadly, one housewife had some very sad dog news to share with their followers. According to an Instagram post from Margaret Josephs, it seems that her beloved dog Bella has passed away. In the post, she shared a series of pictures featuring Bella. In one of the pictures she’s with her pup, and in others, we see the rest of the family with the pup. There is also a video at the very end, and all of it is very touching, and a reminder of how important the pup was to the whole family.

Obviously, it is hard to lose a pet, but considering Josephs called Bella, the “perfect, happiest little BFF in the world,” it makes perfect sense that she would also talk about how “our world and hearts are broken.” In the post, the RHONJ star shared that Bella was actually a rescue dog, which is something we didn’t know before this, but she let her followers know that “in reality she saved us.”

We hate seeing news like this, especially when it is a dog that we have watched on our TV screens for years. But we also appreciate the fact that Margaret Josephs chose to share this news with her followers, because it shows just how much she really did love Bella. Plus, we all got to know the pup over the years thanks to her time on RHONJ, so this is news we want to know anyway. Of course, we will likely get to see a little bit more of Bella as we continue watching season 14 of the series. But it will be so sad to see no Bella in future seasons of RHONJ.

Are you as saddened by this news as we are?
