“11 and a half years of love, lots of cuddles and walks (Which was Lulu’s favourite thing to do).”
He added: “Forever in mine, Sandra’s and Barney’s hearts,” which is the couple’s other dog.
Fans sent support to Harry and Sandra in the comments.
One person wrote: “Harry & Sandra sending heartfelt wishes to you, it’s so sad.”
We are very sad to have lost our lovely Lulu on Sunday morning.
Relating to their loss, the fan added: “We lost our Archie in July, it leaves a big hole for a long time. All the best.”
Another said: “Sorry to hear that Harry. Dogs are part of the family.”
A third added: “Thinking of you. I lost my bull terrier of 12 in the summer, the loss is huge.”
Meanwhile, Harry recently revealed his other dog Barney was rushed to the vets last year after eating Christmas cake.
Poor Barney had to have his stomach pumped after tucking into the dessert, which is filled with raisins – a food that is toxic to dogs.
Harry said Lulu also had to undergo the procedure in case she also ate the cake.
He told The Sun: “Barney’s a bit of a boy, so Barney’s ate the Christmas cake.
“So we take him to the vet, and they have to pump its stomach, because currants, that would kill them, they would die.
“It would have killed him. So poor Lulu, who hasn’t eaten any, they pumped her stomach just in case she’d ate some.”
