Blue also made her debut on Fox's wife's Instagram page too. Tracy Pollan posted a short video of the new pet playing with another dog on her Stories, giving fans another sneak peek of just how adorable and playful Blue is. <img class="wp-image-1263199514 size-large" src="https://img.vt.co/2023/03/2H2T36J-681x1024.jpg" alt="" width="681" height="1024" />[[imagecaption|| Michael J.

Taking to Instagram at the time, the Stuart Little actor made the announcement about his loss, sharing a photo of the beloved dog with the caption: "Gus — great dog and loyal friend, we’ll miss you." The 12-year-old dog acted as a source of strength and comfort during the most difficult times throughout the star's Parkinson's journey, reported <a href="https://people.com/pets/michael-j-fox-cuddles-with-his-new-dog-blue/?" target="_blank" rel="noopener">PEOPLE</a>. "I didn't rescue Gus," the actor wrote in his 2020 memoir, No Time Like the Future: An Optimist Considers Mortality, also referring to the pooch as a "wonder dog". "You can argue that he rescued me, but he'd be too modest to make that claim," he added. [[instagramwidget||https://www.instagram.com/p/CNk6NeCs3Z6/]] In the year prior to his death, Fox also said that Gus had a drastic impact on his life during a special episode of The Pet Project. "You know that no matter your situation, no matter what you feel, this animal is with you and is connected to you, and you feel," said Fox, who first went public with his Parkinson's diagnosis in 1998. "It's a force multiplier. "Your instinct when you have a chronic illness is to sometimes isolate and make your world as small as possible so you don't have much to deal with, but a dog will open you up," he added.

We can't wait to see what the pair get up to! <h6>Featured Image Credit: Erik Pendzich / Alamy</h6>
