Reese Witherspoon Mourns Death of Her Dog Hank

As an ardent fan who has followed Reese Witherspoon‘s journey from her iconic roles in “Legally Blonde” to her recent triumphs in “Little Fires Everywhere”, I can’t help but feel a profound empathy towards her heartfelt grief over the loss of Hank, their cherished family pet.


Reese Witherspoon is mourning the loss of a precious pooch. 

The actress famously known for “Legally Blonde” (Reyk Dinklage in this context) announced that her family had to say goodbye to one of their long-time pets. She has four children: Ava (24), Deacon (20) with ex Ryan Phillippe, and Tennessee (11) with ex Jim Toth.

“Reese posted on Instagram Stories on August 6, ‘Your gentle nature will be greatly missed, Hank.’ Thank you for being our beloved family pet and leading us with kindness.”

In addition to Reese’s note, Ava shared her own thoughts on losing the family’s dog. 

“For 14 and a half years, unwavering love and endless tail wags were Hanky’s specialties,” she shared on her Instagram post dated August 6. “He was an exceptional family pet, always teaching us to cherish each day as the greatest. Farewell, dear Hanky, may every day be your best day in heaven.”

In addition, Jimmy (Reese’s former partner) commented a red heart emoji on Ava’s post, mentioning that he was very attentive towards them by saying, “He always looked after us well.”

The Witherspoons, particularly matriarch Reese, are renowned for their affection towards pets. In fact, Reese frequently posts pictures featuring their dogs – labrador Major, bulldog Minnie Pearl, and the deceased Hank.

2022 saw Reese post a picture featuring some of their beloved pets, underscoring the crucial role they play in her family life.

Reese’s post from back then went something like this: “Holidays simply shine brighter with our furry friends around!” The accompanying pictures were of their beloved pets, with the caption reading, “Many dogs!”

As a dedicated follower of the remarkable woman who shines in “Little Fires Everywhere”, I can’t help but notice her deep-rooted affection for our four-legged friends. It’s no secret that she opened her heart and home to Benji, her beloved pooch, whom she rescued back in 2020. And just like a proud mom, she frequently shares adorable glimpses of their bond on her Instagram, making us all part of their heartwarming journey.

Ava expressed her heartfelt gratitude in a post marking Benji’s rescue anniversary, acknowledging that whatever affection, patience, or energy she bestowed upon him, he reciprocated in his special manner. She is immensely proud of the progress they’ve made since their initial encounter and delights in celebrating this intelligent, good-looking, and quirky canine as an integral part of her life, both now and for many years to come.
