Doug
Hannah Gadsby had a beloved Lagotto Romagnolo breed dog named Douglas Hastings, or just “Doug” to his friends. She got the curly-furred pooch in January 2015. Doug crossed the Rainbow Bridge in January 2023 at the age of 8.
My boy Doug died. He was so earnest and so sweet and so leggy. A very special soul who was my shepherd through some very difficult years… and he always made me laugh. I am very sad. I don’t know what else to say…#ripdoug
