Russell Wilson Announces Devastating Personal Loss Following First-Round Playoff Exit
Russell Wilson is going through something very difficult at the moment, having lost his longtime pet.
The veteran quarterback has started his offseason following a campaign with the Pittsburgh Steelers. The season ended in disappointment for the nine-time Pro Bowler, as the Steelers were bounced in the first round, and his week just got a lot worse.
Wilson took to social media on Thursday to announce that Prince, the dog he got in his rookie year over a decade ago, has died. The QB shared four photos of Prince as he revealed that the beloved pet survived two battles with cancer and went on to live a lot longer than expected.
“Prince’ 12 years ago you came into my life. I got you my rookie year & you have been a blessing to our family with so many memories, hugs and kisses from our 4 kids and us. You will forever be a part of us,” he wrote “Today was a hard day. But you overcame cancer 2x and lived 12 years when most live 6. Heaven got a good one! Forever the Prince of Peace. Love you.”
