“I lost my bear today. She was struggling and I couldn’t bear to have her fight anymore,” Handler, 42, wrote about Tammy, who frequently appeared on her Netflix show, Chelsea.

“Anyone who doesn’t believe a dog changes your life has never rescued one. I only had 2 years with Tammy, but she made sure I never went to bed once without hearing her little paws mount my stairwell 2 paws at a time,” she wrote in the caption. “If my door was closed, she slept outside my room like a security guard. Dogs give you something you never knew was missing. I love you, bear. Thanks for being such a girl. I will get another dog that needs a home and it will remind me every day how much I miss you. Lub lub lub. @realtammyhandler”

Forever and always, Team Tammy ??,” read the caption on a black-and-white photo of Handler giving the dog a kiss on the nose.
