Miley Cyrus is mourning the death of her 'angel' dog Mary Jane. The dog, a rescued pit bull mix was one she adopted during her marriage to Liam Hemsworth

Miley Cyrus is mourning the death of her ‘best friend’, a rescued pit bull mix named ‘Mary Jane’. The ‘See You Again’ singer took to her Instagram stories to share the heart-breaking news and talk about what the ‘angel’ dog meant to her.  Later, she shared a song titled ‘Mary Jane 5EVR’. 

How did Mary Jane die?

The ‘Malibu’ singer wrote in her Instagram story about MJ being diagnosed with cancer a year back. “MJ was diagnosed with cancer over a year ago …. & since then multiple types and tumors,” and added, “I was told it’d be an uncertain amount of time until she’s gone. Advised to spend every second savoring her special gift.. Which isn’t anything new. I had been for 10 years.”

Cyrus poured her heart out writing how easily one can take things for granted until it is taken away from them. “In life, it is easy to take things for granted. To let little miracles pass you by without moments of gratitude. To be oblivious when the rays of heaven shine down onto you. But when it came to my ANGEL Mary Jane… never once did I forget the gift I had been given. She made it impossible to. She was a dog with wings in a way.”

The ‘Wrecking Ball’ crooner who adopted the dog with ex-husband Liam Hemsworth went on saying, “I thanked her repeatedly as she took her last breath for who and what she has been to me. It was something more than a friend or family member. Something so different, you can’t define it. Our connection was purely DIVINE. An incomparable love.” 

Talking about the magical bond that the ‘Can’t Be Tamed Now’ singer shared with MJ, Cyrus wrote, “We’ve never said hurtful things we didn’t mean to each other. Never have we fought and went to bed angry. Not once has our loyalty wavered.” And added, “She has come to my rescue every time my heart has been broken. Put me back together again. Going thru this pain without her magic power is so lonely.”

Sharing a new song ‘Mary Jane 5EVR’ on Instagram, Cyrus wrote, “Music is my medicine. This song revolves around loss & heartache. Which I am currently experiencing after Mary Jane’s passing.” And added, “MJ was a true queen. She wore her grace, dignity & kindness like a crown. She will never be forgotten and will forever be missed. To know her is to love her. It has been my honor being her mom and best friend.”

Cyrus has been always been vocal about her love for animals. During her much talked about divorce with Hemsworth in 2019, news reports stated that she would be keeping seven dogs, two horses, two mini horses, three cats, and a pig. Prior to this, the ‘Plastic Hearts’ singer lost her dog Floyd in 2014 who was killed by a coyote. Later, she dedicated a whole album, ‘Miley Cyrus & Her Dead Petz’ to all the pets that she has lost in her life.

After the ‘Younger Now’ crooner shared the heart-breaking news on her Instagram story, fans have sent in their support for her. A user wrote, “So heartbreaking- love you @MileyCyrus sending you love.’ Another said, “I'm so so sorry. Worst feeling in the world. You know she's up there enjoying the rainbow bridge now with Floyd.”
