"Now go run with Emma, Sydney, Gianna, Lola, and Samson ❤️ my sweet Bobo," Bure finished the post.

In a social media tribute video titled "In Loving Memory of Boris," the actress shared clips of several memorable moments between herself and the large dog, including videos of outdoor activities, cuddles, and a heated game of tug-of-war.

She also included several photos of her and her pup posing with her children's book, Candace's Playful Puppy, including a snapshot of the actress and the dog sprawled on a wood floor.
