Brigitte Bardot’s last Instagram post just a day before her death is upsetting fans as it reveals her true commitment to the cause close to her heart.
French cinema legend Brigitte Bardot used her Instagram account for her work for animal welfare.
In her latest post, shared through the Brigitte Bardot Foundation, the actress appeared in a video gently petting a young Doberman named Urphé, who suffers from severe generalized arthritis.
The caption, which began with a plea to people planning to adopt a dog, read: “This young Doberman waiting is called Urphe. He is two and a half years old. After his owner’s departure in EHPAD, Urphé was retired for a year before being bequeathed to the Brigitte Bardot Foundation and integrated into one of our shelters.”
Badort described the dog as “a very alert dog, very close to people, very loving, very very playful. He needs to discover life because he has only known retirement.
“It is an SOS we pass today for Urphe,” she wrote further.
The actress breathed her last at the age of 91.
Bardot rose to fame in the 1950s and 1960s as a symbol of beauty, freedom, sexual revolution, before retiring from acting to focus on animal welfare.
