In the wake of an unimaginable tragedy, families often find themselves grappling with the pain and heartache of losing a loved one.
Whether sudden or expected, the loss of a family member leaves a void that can never truly be filled.
Samantha Armytage, the beloved host of Farmer Wants a Wife, recently shared a heart-wrenching loss that has left her and her fans in deep sorrow.
The television presenter took to social media to announce the passing of her cherished dog, Banjo—a loss that has left her heart 'completely broken'.
In a touching post, Samantha shared the devastating news of Banjo's sudden passing.
Accompanied by a famous quote from Winnie the Pooh, ‘How lucky I am to have something that makes saying goodbye so hard,’ she expressed her profound grief over the loss of her 'darling boy’.
'Three weeks ago yesterday, I said goodbye to my darling boy, Banjo,' she wrote.
'My heart is completely broken. He was my best mate, my baby and my shadow...and I don’t know what I’m going to do without him.'
‘He has gone before his time—he was staying with dad near Wagga, and we think he may have been bitten by a snake. It was very sudden, and I want to thank our vet[erinarian] who fought so, so hard to save him. We are all so sad.’
She ended her post by saying, ‘There is another star in heaven these days. Vale Banjo.’
Samantha's post was a heartfelt tribute to Banjo, featuring a series of photos that traced his journey from a playful puppy to a loyal companion.
The images showcased Banjo's loving nature, from snuggling up to Samantha at home to accompanying her on work duties and photo shoots.
The news of Banjo's passing has struck a chord with Samantha's followers, many of whom have experienced the heartbreak of losing a beloved pet.
The comments section was flooded with condolences and messages of support, with many sharing their own stories of loss.
'Banjo was divine…And he adored you and was like your shadow. I am so, so sorry, Sam.' wrote one friend who had met Banjo.
The Morning Show host Larry Emdur also expressed his condolences, writing, 'Oh noooooo…that’s very sad…sending lots of love.'
'Our fur-legged family leaves their paw prints on our hearts. The girls, Pete, and I are sending you all of our love,' TV personality Jessica Rowe said, empathising with Samantha's loss.
‘I’m so sorry, I know exactly how you are feeling,’ wrote one commenter.
‘No words [can] describe [the] loss of a dog, especially so soon, sending hugs,’ another said.

Banjo was a frequent feature on Samantha's social media, and his playful antics and loving nature had endeared him to her followers, with many feeling as if they knew him personally, so his loss has been deeply felt.
