Beatrice was just seen at the TCA’s in January posing for photos. The finale of Modern Family will air on ABC on April 8.
What do you think? Are you saddened by Beatrice’s passing so soon after Modern Family wrapped filming?
very sad- i love animals and I loved the relationship w Jay 🙁
Of course it is sad , but honestly I don’t really think about it. That show was great while it lasted, but I feel it ran its course.
I love that little bulldog so much…… It’s really sad to see great animals dying. But she’ll be in great company over the rainbow bridge….. R.I.P
Sad to learn about Stella/Beatrice’s passing. Always loved seeing her. Having lost many dogs over the years, it is definitely like loosing a member of the family. They give us so much love in return.
While I watched Modern Family only on rare occasions it is SAD that the pet in the series passed on recently!I have lost many a pet in my 64 years and its sad but you remember the great times you had with each one!
So sad. She was such a cute, sweet little dog.
My condolences to the cast and owner(s) of
Stella/Beatrice.
Awww. Very sad. How ironic that she waited to pass after the season ended. I could cry thinking of her
It is ALWAYS sad when a beloved animal dies. May she rest in peace. Losing a pet is heartbreaking as they are a part of a family. Being part of a show that brought her into everyone’s home week after week leaves sadness of her passing to many people who enjoyed seeing her.
