Boo

Carl
Wells Adams adopted a rescue dog named Carl in 2014. Carl was a bloodhound and he sadly passed away in January 2023. Adams posted this tribute to Carl on his Instagram, “Trying to type this through tears, but it’s with a heavy heart I must tell you that @carlthebloodhound has gone to doggy heaven. Carl, you were such a good guy. A true gentle giant. You were sweet, noisy, protective, and slobbery, and boy did you give the best hugs! You were the best boy I’ve ever known. I hope you thought I was a good dad. We’ve been through so much and I there’s no way I would be here without you. Carlos the blooder, know that mom, dad, and boo love you forever. I hope you visit me all the time in my dreams to play tug of war. My jogs will never be the same but I’ll make sure to stop by the trees where the squirrels are in case you’re still running with me. You’ll always be my big ole hounder. I love you. 😔💕”

Modern Family also starred Ed O’Neill, Sofia Vergara, Ty Burrell, Rico Rodriguez, Ariel Winter, Julie Bowen, Jesse Tyler Ferguson, and Eric Stonestreet.
Sarah’s comedic flair also led her to be part of the ensemble cast of “Scary Movie 5” in 2013, where she teamed up with comedic stars Simon Rex and Ashley Tisdale. Though the movie itself was met with mixed reviews, Hyland’s performance stood out.
Around the same time, her musical prowess led her to work with the legendary Elton John in the animated feature “Gnomeo & Juliet,” where she lent her voice to the character Call Me Doll. Hyland’s participation in this film enabled her to show her range.
Sarah further delved into music by collaborating with the popular electronic dance music band, Boyce Avenue. In 2016, their cover of The Chainsmokers’ “Closer” with Andrew Taggart and Alex Pall became a YouTube sensation.
In later years, Hyland has also formed a recurring on-screen partnership with actor Adam Devine. They first worked together in “Modern Family” and then in the romantic comedy “The Wedding Year” in 2019. Their natural chemistry added a unique charm to the film.
