On Tuesday the 28-year-old former Modern Family star took to Instagram to announce her heartbreak in an emotional post.

She began her lengthy caption, 'It's taken me a bit for me to share this because I truly can't handle the fact that I've lost her. 

'I haven't even wanted to talk about it with my therapist, let alone anyone else because it makes it real and then I can't avoid the pain, but she was loved by so many and I feel it's time.'

She described the brown and black dog as 'the love of my life, my best friend, my soul dog, my first rescue.'

Winter added that the pup was 'the one who ignited that purpose and passion within me.'
