As Kim buys a puppy for North… a look back at the sad fate of the Kardashians’ other pets that were dumped off, left behind and even killed by a coyote
There are two new members of the Kardashian family.
Over the weekend, Kim Kardashian, 36, gave her daughter North West a precious Pomeranian pooch for her fourth birthday, while cousin Penelope was given the dogs sister – a canine named Honey – by her mother Kourtney, 38.
But as fans of the series know, the two new dogs the cousins will be caring for are not the first to have been welcomed into the family.
Ruff life: Kim Kardashian, who admits shes not the biggest animal person, revealed she bought a new dog for her daughter over the weekend

Last summer, Kim shed some light on the fate of the animal extras who often star in her familys reality TV show. And while some remain much-loved members of the family, for the others it isnt always happily ever after.
Taking to her paid-for website KimKardashian.com in August last year, she admitted: Im not the biggest animal person, before listing her four-legged friends.
I remember almost every pet weve had, Kim boasted, adding that My fam has had SO many pets over the years.
Some of the animals she mentioned are obviously much-loved and still missed pets.

Mixed fates: Seen, (clockwise from top left), are Kim and Rocky (fate unknown, may be living with Reggie Bush), Khloes dog Jackson (fate unknown, has not been seen in several years), Kourtneys cat Charli (given up for adoption) and Kim and a young Kylie with Bella and Dolce (given away and killed by a coyote)
Others are still with the family, a couple – Kylie Jenners Italian Greyhounds Bambi and Norman – even have their own Instagram account.
And while animal lovers previously raised concerns that the two are too skinny, experts dismissed this, reassuring fans the breed is meant to look that way when healthy.
But its clear that not all the Kardashian pets manage to find their niche within the clan.
From death in the jaws of a coyote, to being left behind when moving house, rehomed with friends, or simply placed for adoption, Kim also shared the less happy endings.
Instagram stars! Kylie Jenner with her Italian Greyhounds Bambi and Norman
One picture shows a young Kim lying on the grass, looking at her most charming as she plays happily with Bella – who, as fans may remember, featured heavily in early episodes of the show.
Bella was our Maltese who went to go live with Pastor Brad! she wrote bluntly, referring to the pastor at the Kardashian family church.
Kim certainly wasnt alone in rehoming pets she no longer wanted.
Bernard was Khloé and Lamars first dog together, she wrote of the cute dog.
Too skinny? Experts have reassured fans that the breed is meant to show their ribs, and the dogs are carefully looked after
But with Khloe and Lamar now divorced, Kim explains millionairess Khloe was unable to take Bernard with her when she briefly moved into her brother Robs apartment.
There was a strict no-pet policy, she said, so Khloés friend and fellow Boxer-lover graciously took Bernard in.
While fans might question why Khloe couldnt simply find a doggy boarding house for Bernard, Kim reassured fans that the dog is super happy in his new home.
Oh Rocky! Kim got this boxer (seen in 2010) with ex-boyfriend Reggie Bush; he hasnt been seen in years, although when the couple split it was reported that Kim had won custody
What a cutie! Khloe with Bernard in 2013, the pet Boxer who joined her family when she was married to Lamar Odom; she rehomed him when she briefly stayed at an apartment which did not allow large dogs
Kourtney has also given away family pets, with Kim reminding followers of Masons cat Charli, a Christmas present.
Kourt gave him up for adoption when Reign was born, says Kim of the expensive Bengal cat.
Then there was Australian Shepherd Jackson, a surprise gift to Khloe back in 2012 from sisters Kendall and Kylie.
She was SO happy! she wrote. Jackson featured briefly on the show, but Kim does not make his fate clear.
Happy early birthday to me!!! wrote Kendall, sharing a picture of a dog, Blu, gifted to her by Rob Kardashian; while his fate is unknown, Kim writes ominously that the dog pooped everywhere – in the past tense
Nor does she explain what happened to Kendalls dog Blu, although it seems obvious why he may have fallen out of favour.
Blu was Kendalls Great Dane who literally pooped everywhere, LOL! wrote Kim, ominously using the past tense.
A birthday gift from her brother Rob, Blu was an unusual choice for a teenager living in a fancy apartment – Great Danes weigh up to 200lbs when fully grown, and can reach a height of 2ft10.

Rocky, the dog Kim bought with ex-boyfriend Reggie Bush, is pictured. He hasnt been seen in years, although when the couple split it was reported that Kim had won custody.
Then there are the family Labradors Harley and Gabbana, bought as family pets when the five Kardashian-Jenner sisters were younger by their parents Kris and Bruce Jenner.
They were joined five years ago by chocolate labs Louis and Vuitton, Christmas gifts for Kylie and Kendall.
Gabbana, 11, is still alive, Kim confirmed, not mentioning the other three dogs.
Despite having health problems and being of an advanced age, Gabbana is obviously much-loved and has found a permanent home with Khloe – who took her in after Kris Jenner split from then-husband Bruce.
What a present! Kourtneys son Mason got this Bengal kitten on Christmas Day in 2013 and he made for the perfect festive Instagram post, posing with auntie Kendall
But all these animals had lucky escapes in comparison with some of the Kardashian menagerie.
One picture shows Kim cuddled up to a tiny Chihuahua.
Dolce was the sweetest Chihuahua ever! she gushes. Heres a pic of us from 2009, before he was tragically killed by a coyote in the neighborhood.
True love: Some of the animals Kim mentions are obviously much-loved pets; Gabbanna, pictured, is now old and has health problems – she lives with Khloe, who took her in when former owners Bruce and Kris Jenner divorced
Kim also memorably owned a fluffy kitten – a gift from smitten Kanye West when they first started dating.
Named Mercy, the white cat featured prominently on Kims social media accounts. Until, quite suddenly, she didnt.
Kim explains she developed an allergy, writing: I gave her to Khloés assistant Sydney.
Dogs are for life! Kendall and Kylie were delighted to get a pair of chocolate labs for Cristmas five years ago; the current whereabouts of Louis and Vuitton is unknown
Sadly Mercy didnt last much longer – dying at just a few months of age from what E! reported at the time to be a cancer-like virus often associated with breeding.
Along with the cats and dogs there were some more unusual animals. A couple of bunny rabbits, one each for Kourtney and Kylie, fate unknown, and a peacock named Peter Pan.
He still lives at her old house with its new owners, wrote Kim.
Of all the Kardashians, Kylie seems to own the most animals.
Along with her social media star Greyhounds and rabbit Bruce, Kim also listed the teen as having owned Chihuahua Peño, long-haired Dachshund Ernie and a new puppy, Penny – quite a commitment for an 18-year-old.
Despite having as many animals in the family as a modern day Dr Doolittle, Kim said: The funniest thing is, Im not the biggest animal person; sure, I love cute fluffy kittens but I dont die to constantly have a pet.
However, she added, her daughter North has been asking for a puppy.
Im trying to keep her happy with her fish tank for now! says Kim.
Thats better! Kim insisted she is making daughter North make do with five pet fish
Does Kim Still Have Sushi The Dog?
The dog’s constant barking has caused so much concern among Kim’s family that many feared the pup would be lost. As a result, Sushi was hired in August to promote Kim’s Skims collection. In 2019, Kim added two more Pomeranians to her dog brood.

Kardashian fans are starting to wonder what has happened to the many dogs the Kardashian-Jenner family has adopted in the past, only for them to suddenly vanish from their social media pages.
In a TikTok video, Jessica Weslie Arena posed the question of what happened to the familys dogs that they showed in the past, asking “Where are the Kardashians and Jenners dogs?”
She brought up Kendall Jenners dog, Blue, Kourtney Kardashians dog, Honey, and Kim Kardashians three Chihuahua puppies, Sushi, Saki, and Soba.
