Pete’s husband also paid tribute to Truman, sharing an Instagram carousel filled with sweet moments with their pup.

“Truman filled our lives with endless amounts of chaos and love,” Chasten, 33, began. “His rescue was fraught, coming to South Bend on a truck full of dogs that were rescued from kill shelters.” 

“Multiple families gave up on him, but from the moment we met I knew there was a loving companion in there behind all of the fear and abandonment,” he continued.

Chasten then said that their rescue dog “loved knocking over the trash cans and filling his tummy with scraps of anything remotely close to food.”

“He wasn’t much of a cuddler, but the very rare boop on the nose reminded you that he did, indeed, love you,” continued Chasten — who shares 1-year-old twins with his husband.

He concluded his tribute, writing, “We will miss our sweet guy, who left this world surrounded by his family, and most importantly, after one last helping of ice cream.”
