Local actor Joel Choo shared about the recent passing of his beloved pooch.

"Thank you Snowy for coming into our lives. You taught me what it truly means to love, and to be loved in return," the 31-year-old ex-Mediacorp actor revealed on Instagram last night (Oct 13).

Fans of Joel would be familiar with Snowy, the adorable Japanese Spitz who frequently appeared on the actor's social media. She was the furkid of Joel and his wife Jiayuan. Earlier this year, Snowy was diagnosed with multiple myeloma, a type of bone marrow cancer.
