Janette recently flew home to visit her family in Miami, taking husband Aljaz Skorjanec and daughter Lyra with her.
However, after celebrating her beloved mother’s birthday, the celebrations turned to sadness, as the family were forced to say goodbye to their four-legged friend.
Janette shared three pictures of the pooch. The first was a close up of an inquisitive-looking Nahko. The second saw Janette lying on the floor with the dog. The third saw the animal standing on its hind legs, as if to give Janette a hug.

Katya Jones said: “So sorry Janette and the whole Manrara family.” Graziano Di Prima added: “I’m so sorry.” Dog lover Gemma Atkinson chipped in: “Ahh Janette. I’m so sorry.”

It seems as if Janette arrived in the States just in time to say farewell to Nahko.

Giving fans an insight into how baby Lyra got on, Janette said: “Our first long-haul flight and it was not as easy or straightforward as we would have liked, but we made it to Miami.
“And in the midst of the madness we found pockets of joy and excitement to be travelling together as a little family.”
