Ty Pennington Mourns the Sudden Loss of His Beloved Dog Georgia
The loss of a pet can be heart-wrenching, especially when it comes unexpectedly. HGTV star Ty Pennington recently shared the painful news that his cherished dog, Georgia, passed away over the weekend.
Best known for his work as a carpenter and designer and as the former host of Extreme Makeover: Home Edition, Ty took to Instagram on October 21 to announce Georgia’s passing with a touching post. “The world lost a special girl,” he began. “Georgia passed away unexpectedly at home in Florida yesterday. Something we were not prepared for.”

Reflecting on life’s fragility, Ty added, “Life has a cruel way of reminding us sometimes, just how quickly it can all be over. We’ll miss you, Georgia.” He shared photos and a video capturing joyful moments with Georgia at the beach, hoping that she is now enjoying “endless beach walks” in a peaceful place.
Messages of comfort poured in from followers, with one expressing, “I’m so sorry about your unexpected loss. I feel your heartbreak.” Another wrote, “Georgia was so beautiful. So sorry for your loss.”

Alongside his main post, Ty shared a photo on his Instagram Stories of Georgia with his other dog, Dory, noting that Dory will deeply miss her friend. Ty’s fans have frequently seen glimpses of his bond with Georgia on social media, including a sweet Father’s Day post in 2019 where he called her “daddy’s little girl.”
As he continues his HGTV hosting roles on Rock The Block and Battle on the Beach, Ty finds comfort in his family, which includes his dog Phoebe.
