Jana Ina Zarrella: The presenter says goodbye to her dog so emotionally

"My friend, my companion, my family" – Jana Ina Zarrella (43) mourns the loss of her dog Tyson with these emotional words. For over 17 years, the two went through thick and thin, as she wrote in an Instagram post. For this purpose, she published a photo that shows her with the dachshund. She holds Tyson against her chest and kisses him on the head. "My heart is broken," says the moderator and wife of singer Giovanni Zarrella (42, "La vita รจ bella"). "I miss you now. Thanks for a life by your side, Tyson. We'll see each other again sometime."

Jana Ina Zarrella feels "enormous emptiness" in the chest

"My dad is waiting for you!" Continues the 43-year-old. In doing so, she refers to her father, whom she only had to say goodbye to in January. Zarrella finds even more emotional words in her Instagram story. "Every evening was the same," she describes everyday life with dog Tyson. "I fed him, brought him out, showed him his water, and prepared his crib. For a while now I've been preparing a safe corner for Tyson so he doesn't run around confused and maybe hurt himself."

Now she feels "an enormous emptiness" in the chest. "You are no longer there, Tyson. Your basket is no longer there. I do not have to feed you or carry you to the basket. Your corner is empty. Like my heart too." Tyson "always accompanied her – no matter whether job, vacation or fun". The dachshund "celebrated our wedding with us and took care of our kids".

In the end, she thanks her for spending time with her pet. "Thank you that our children have learned that living with a pet is much nicer," writes the mother of two. "Thank you for always waiting for me. And thank you for wanting to stay by my side until the last minute."
