John and I got Puddy in our first year of dating” she revealed. “10 years ago, on May 30th, I found the dog that would be there for us through every up, down, new house, new city, new tour, new travel. He welcomed new pups and loved on new babies and new bellies. He was there for everything.”  Puddy underwent emergency treatment for heart failure in November 2017 and Teigen told her fans back then that his health was still not fully stable. “…He does have a tumor on his heart and he’s basically a 70 year old man beast but I am so happy to have him home right now.”  Teigen and Legend are currently expecting their second child, a boy.  They also have three other dogs: Pippa, Penny and their newest addition, Pablo, who they adopted in October.
