Kardashian took custody of Gabbana, then 11, after her mom and stepfather Kris andCaitlyn Jenner(formerly known as Bruce Jenner) split.

Kardashianopened up about losing Gabbanaon aKeeping Up with the Kardashiansepisode last year, explaining, “Gabbana was Kendall and Kylie’s dog their entire lives and then when they all grew up and moved out, she became the family dog.”

“When Caitlyn and my mom got separated, I took Gabbana in,” Khloé explained in the episode. “So she’s kind of been the family dog and everyone has their own great relationship with her. Even [sisterKim KardashianWest] loves to hate her. I love that whenever I come home from Cleveland, Gabbana is always there.”

Along with delving into the bond between Khloé and Gabbana, theKUWTKepisode also revealed the sad details leading up to Gabbana’s death.

In the episode, Khloé takes the dog to the vet, after she finds Gabbana too weak to stand. There, the vet discovers that Gabbana has a heart-based tumor which is slowing down her heart rate, all of which leads the vet to tell Khloé that the end of Gabbana’s life is “unfortunately near.”

The new mom, then 7 months pregnant, decides to have Gabbana put down at home.

Even while grieving, Khloé still manages to find a silver lining to this sad situation.
