Winnie was a female Irish wolfhound, and the family also has another male name Baloo.

Kylie’s emotional tribute expressed their profound bond and her desire to have that particular dog breed since childhood.

“When I was in high school, I had a folder on my desktop labeled ‘God’s gift to earth,’” Kylie wrote.

“It was images of Irish Wolfhounds that I had collected from Google.”

“I had fallen in love with the breed when I was young and never let my fascination with them fade.”

She continued, “It all led me to Winnie and holy s***, did she live up to the hype. She was everything I had hoped for in a wolfie and more.”

“I lost part of my soul today, but I know she is at peace. I love you, Winn. You will always be my firstborn child.”

The post was met with an outcry of support from friends, family, and fans.

Kansa City Chiefs star Jason’s brother Travis commented, “You [gave] Winn an amazing life, Ky!!”

Travis’s ex-girlfriend Kayla Nicole also left a reply to the tragic loss, “Winnie girl. What a sweet life she lived.”

The dogs appeared in the Kelce family photo last year wearing reindeer antlers for the holidays and have even been spotted on the brothers’ popular New Heights Podcast.

Last month, Jason answered a fan’s question on X. The fan asked him about Irish wolfhounds and how they were.

“They are wonderful animals, absolutely adore mine. Very loving and connected with their humans,” Kelce wrote.

“Not for everyone, though. If you travel a lot, have limited amount of space, keep food on the counter, and have nice furniture, they may not be for you.”

Winnie’s death comes after Jason retired from the NFL after a decorated 13-year career with the Philadelphia Eagles, during which he won a Super Bowl.
