A spokesperson called it a ‘freak accident’.

Sophie Turner and Joe Jonas’ dog, Waldo Picasso, has reportedly died after he was hit by a car in New York.

The couple adopted the Alaskan Klee Kai in April 2018. He was from the same litter as their other dog, Porky Basquiat.

Waldo, who was on a leash, was being walked by the newlyweds’ dog walker when he is said to have broken free after being spooked by a passer-by. He ran into the street where he was tragically hit by a car.

Turner and Jonas went to report the incident to the police on Friday, telling officers they delayed filing the report because they were so devastated by what had happened they had gone to see a therapist.

In November 2018, Jonas spoke to PEOPLE about Porky and Waldo’s “fabulous” jet-setting lifestyle.

The globe-trotting pair of adorable pooches had traveled to the Game of Thrones set and gone on tour with Jonas.

According to the singer, they had traveled to France, England, Canada, Amsterdam and all over the United States.

He said:

“They live a pretty fabulous life. They have probably traveled more than most of my friends.”
