UPDATE: We are all saddened to hear the news today that Mickey Rourke's beloved dog Loki has passed away. The Chihuahua died on Monday night at the age of 17, confirmed Rourke's publicist, Paula Woods. In a statement to PEOPLE Pets, the actor said: "Loki is deeply missed but with me in spirit. I am very blessed she fell asleep peacefully in my arms."

Rourke, who is often spotted by paparazzi with Loki, brought her to the awards ceremony at the Venice Film Festival in September. ''Loki is the love of my life," he told The New York Times. Rourke recently thanked his dogs during his Best Actor acceptance speech at the Golden Globes.

As pet owners ourselves, we can easily imagine how heartbroken the Oscar-nominee must be. Our hearts go out to him and the other furry members of his family.
