In the caption, she continued: ‘From the puppy that ran around chewing walls and toes, to the dignified old lady who would sleep away her days, perfect in every way.
‘Thank you for being part of our family Brit, you’ve exceeded all expectations for my dream of having my own Labrador.
‘I know exactly who you will have ran to over the rainbow bridge, and he will be so happy to have you back, give him a kiss from me!
‘Love you and I’ll see you in the next life pretty girl! Brit Beau Payne, everyone’s best friend!’
On Friday, Ruth revealed a tattoo she got in a heartwarming tribute to her late brother as she shared several photos on Friday as she looked back at the previous year.
She revealed she had got a tattoo reading ‘11,378 days..’ believed to be a nod to the number of days Liam was alive before his death aged 31.
Ruth also posted a snap of a robin perched on a fence. It is believed the bird visits you after a loved one has passed.
She also showed a tattoo of three hearts behind her ear which signified herself and her two siblings, Liam and sister Nicola.

The One Direction star died aged 31 in 2024, after falling from a hotel balcony in Buenos Aires, Argentina, and was found to have alcohol and cocaine in his system.
Last month, one of the two men facing trial over his hotel plunge death was allowed to leave prison.
Braian Paiz will have to wear an electronic tag on his ankle as part of his home arrest.
The waiter has been languishing in jail since the start of January after being charged with selling the singer the cocaine he snorted and smoked before his fatal third-storey fall.
Paiz, who has admitted to taking drugs with Liam at the CasaSur Palermo Hotel in Buenos Aires but denies selling him narcotics, lost an initial prison release bid after it was opposed by public prosecutors and a judge ruled he remained a flight risk.
But three higher court judges agreed he could swap jail for house arrest and the ankle tag after he appealed, arguing his near year-long incarceration had caused him health problems and his family situation had worsened.
The other suspect, former hotel worker Ezequiel David Pereyra who is also facing drug charges, remains in jail and it was not immediately clear this morning if he would now apply for a similar home arrest regime ahead of their trial.
Public prosecutors have yet to make any official comment on the appeal judges’ decision.
