Former President George W. Bush announced Saturday that his family's beloved dog, Miss Beazley, died this weekend after a battle with lymphoma.

"She was a source of joy during our time in Washington and in Dallas," Bush said of Miss Beazley in an Instagram post. "She was a close companion to her blood relative, Barney. And even though he received all the attention, Beazley never held a grudge against him."

Barney Bush died in February 2013 after also suffering through a battle with lymphoma.
