On May 24, 2025, The Young and the Restless star Courtney Hope shared the devastating news with her followers: the loss of her cherished dog and constant companion, Stevie Nicks Hope. In a deeply moving Instagram post, the actress opened up about the 16-year bond she shared with her "soul pup" and the profound impact Stevie had on her life.

“The day I’ve dreaded for 16 years,” Hope wrote. “My soul pup, the one who woke up the mother in me, my best friend and my shadow, crossed the bridge into heaven.”

Stevie Nicks—also affectionately known as Steven McQueen, Bug, and Bubba—was more than just a pet. She was a source of strength, love, and healing for Courtney, accompanying her through life’s toughest moments and happiest memories. Always by her side, Stevie was a familiar face to fans and friends alike.

A Final Farewell with Grace

Hope described Stevie’s final moments with reverence and gratitude, recalling how, despite being barely able to breathe, the dog stood up one last time to greet every family member in the room.

“She made sure we knew it was going to be okay… then laid her head on my chest and took her last breath.”

Calling Stevie “a true angel on earth,” Courtney reflected on the lessons her pup left behind: the beauty of coexistence between strength and softness, confidence and humility, boundaries and unconditional love.
