Jesse Palmer Mourns His 14-Year-Old French Bulldog, Tuuli
Jesse Palmer lost an important member of his family over the weekend: his 14-year-old French bulldog named Tuuli.
The Season 5 Bachelor posted a tribute to his late dog on Monday, which showed photos of Tuuli as well as Tuuli and Jesse throughout the years. In one picture, Tuuli wears a plastic jeweled tiara, necklace, and boa for her birthday. In another, Tuuli rests her head on her dad’s neck as they both sleep.
He captioned the selection of images, "The world lost a little angel today. 14 years ago, I never could have imagined how much this little creature would profoundly impact my life. Tuuli brought so much love, joy and laughter to the world. The best gifts sometimes really do come in small packages."

Tuuli played a prominent role in the former NFL player’s Instagram and social media feeds. Jesse and Tuuli explored New York City together, and his canine epitomized what it means to be "man's best friend."
Though Jesse is without Tuuli, he and his fiancée Emely Fardo are still making the best of their time together in quarantine. May 26 also marks the 16th anniversary of his season finale of "The Bachelor."
Take a look at some photos below of Jesse and his beloved Tuuli.
