Actress Kaley Cuoco, known for her infectious smile and roles in shows like “The Big Bang Theory” and “The Flight Attendant,” is mourning the loss of her cherished rescue dog, Blue. Cuoco and her partner, actor Tom Pelphrey, took to social media on Instagram to share their grief with heartfelt tributes, sparking an outpouring of love from fans and fellow animal lovers.
Blue, a dog with a mysterious past, reportedly spent over a year at a shelter before finding his forever home with Pelphrey on Christmas Eve 2018. Deemed “too aggressive” by some, Pelphrey saw a different side to Blue, forming an instant and profound connection.
I wasn’t sure if I would be able to have people to my apartment ever again. I didn’t care. His unwavering commitment to Blue highlights the transformative power of rescue and the importance of looking beyond labels.

Cuoco’s post echoed Pelphrey’s sentiment, describing Blue as “patient and loving.” She shared a collection of photos showcasing Blue’s journey, from apprehensive shelter dog to cherished member of the family. The poignant tribute struck a chord with animal advocates, raising awareness for rescue animals often overlooked due to behavioral misconceptions.
BLUE💙 I have cried harder over the loss of this gorgeous creature than I have in a long time. We have had to put down three dogs in the last year and this one has made me reflect …
I’m crying for @tommypelphrey …. The relationship he had with Blue was so special. They were quite the duo. Traveling the country as a team… job to job then driving home to California where we all settled as a family togetherKaley
Blue’s passing comes just a month after Cuoco and Pelphrey said goodbye to their dog King. This tragic string of losses underscores the heartache pet owners face when a furry companion crosses the rainbow bridge.
Cuoco, a longtime animal lover and founder of the dog wellness brand “Oh Norman!” in honor of a previous pet, has used her platform to champion pet adoption and responsible pet ownership. In the wake of Blue’s passing, the conversation surrounding rescue animals, particularly those deemed challenging, has reignited.
