Brigitt Bardot’s last post on Instagram just one day before her death saddens fans as it reveals her true efforts for the cause close to her heart.
French film legend Brigitte Bardot used her Instagram account for her animal welfare work.
In her latest post shared through the Brigitte Bardot Foundation, the actress appeared in a video gently petting a young Doberman named Urphé who suffers from severe generalized arthritis.
The caption, which began with a plea to people planning to adopt a dog, read: “This young waiting Doberman is called Urphe. He is two and a half years old. Following the departure of his owner at EHPAD, Urphé received a pension for one year before being bequeathed to the Brigitte Bardot Foundation and integrated into one of our shelters.”
Badort described the dog as “a very attentive dog, very close to human beings, very affectionate, very, very playful. He needs to discover life because he has only known the boarding house.”
“It is an SOS that we transmit today for Urphe,” he further wrote.
The actress breathed her last at the age of 91.
Bardot rose to fame in the 1950s and 1960s as a symbol of beauty, freedom and sexual revolution before retiring from acting to focus on animal welfare.
