Kaia Gerber mourns 'forever best friend' in emotional tribute

Kaia Gerber paid an emotional tribute to her "forever best friend" days after her mom Cindy Crawford shared about a heartbreaking family loss.

On May 22, Crawford announced that their 17-year-old family dog Widget passed away on her social media account.

Gerber took to her Instagram account on May 27, to pen down a heartfelt note for her childhood furry friend along with throwback snaps.

"Saying goodbye to my forever best friend," she captioned the post along with a black-and-white video of Widget.

"Thank you for seventeen joyful years tiny dancer," she noted.

Crawford revealed in the Widget's honorary post that she used to be afraid of dogs but in order to not pass down her fear to her daughter she adopted two less scary dogs.

"I knew I didn't want to pass my fear of dogs along to them, so we got two small dogs — that weren't too scary. What I didn't know was how much fun having little furry friends adds to family life," the 59-year-old supermodel wrote in the heartwarming post.

"I loved watching my kids chase our dogs around or dress them up or just cuddle up together on the couch,' Crawford continued, adding, "And as my kids grew older, and our dogs too, their friendly presence continued to bring joy to our lives."
