Sara Sampaio adopted a new dog, Kodi, seven months after her dog, Mongo, went missing.
The actor and model, 34, announced the adoption on Thursday through Instagram, sharing photos of the young black student in belts, treated with drugs, and held in her arms.
Sampaio said that bringing another dog home once felt impossible. “After Mongo was gone, the thought of ever getting a new dog felt wrong and scary,” she wrote.
“I still miss him and I still hope that one day he will come back to me.” Losing Mongo without custody, she added, was “the most painful thing I’ve ever felt in my life.”
She describes her dogs as the only ones who have ever loved her with the same intensity she gives them.
She then went into detail about meeting Kodi through the Foundation. When I stopped immediately, and I knew it would be me, she wrote, calling the adoption “Mongo to return.”
She said that Kodi reminds me of Mongo in both appearance and personality and has begun to bring her happiness “joy and peace.”
Sampaio also shared a side-by-side photo of Kodi and Mongo’s story, which she says, “would go around.”
Mongo has been missing since April 29, despite widespread tributes and posts looking for help.
