Tom Brady’s Best Friend Lua

For Tom Brady, the family dog, Lua, was much more than just an animal around the house. Lua was like his best buddy and a really important part of their family. Having Lua around helped Tom feel more balanced and happy, especially with all the attention he gets as a famous sports star.

In the Brady-Bündchen home, where Tom, Gisele, and their two kids live,d dogs were a big deal. Lua was the first dog they got. She was a strong brown Pitbull mix that they adopted from a nearby animal shelter. Lua was so special that she even got to be in a commercial with Tom for UGG Australia, showing everyone how much she meant to him.

After Lua, the family grew with more dogs. They had Scooby, a beagle, and Fluffy, a terrier. Gisele shared on social media how happy they were to adopt Fluffy from Wags and Walks, an animal rescue place in Southern California. The most recent dog they brought home is Onyx, another Pitbull mix.

As the family mourns the loss of Lua, their tributes highlight the irreplaceable bond humans share with their pets.
