Amanda Seyfried Announces Death of Longtime Dog Finn

The actress says Finn grounded her through her twenties after she adopted him during Big Love and she posted a photo tribute that drew wide condolences.

Overview

  • Seyfried posted a tribute on Instagram on Saturday featuring photos of her and Finn and the caption "This one’s forever and ever."
  • Finn, an Australian shepherd the actress adopted while filming HBO’s Big Love, died at age 16 and had been publicly celebrated on his 16th birthday last year.
  • Seyfried has long said Finn helped her manage anxiety and OCD and gave her purpose during her early career, comments she has shared in interviews with People.
  • Colleagues and fans responded to the Instagram post with messages of support, including Olivia Munn, Rachel Brosnahan and Sarah Paulson, and Seyfried continued to share memories in her Instagram Stories.
  • Finn predated Seyfried’s marriage to Thomas Sadoski and their two children, no cause of death has been reported, and the loss underscores the central role the dog played in her family life and daily routine.
