Salma Hayek revealed on Friday night that her dog Mozart was shot dead on her ranch in Washington last week, and posted a heartfelt tribute on Instagram.

“He was found dead in my ranch last Friday with a shot close to his heart. I am hoping that the Washington State authorities do justice to this wonderful dog whom in 9 years never bit or attacked anyone (sic),” Salma wrote, adding that she had personally delivered Mozart as a puppy from his mother’s womb.

She added, “He was the most loving and loyal companion. He didn’t deserve a slow and painful death.”
