In a heartfelt series of videos shared on her social media platform, Smith revealed the story of her beloved rescue dog, Legend, a Great Pyrenees, whom she adopted in April 2022. The influencer expressed that their connection was profound, emphasizing that she and the dog “saved each other” during a challenging time.
Following the unfortunate incident involving her son, Smith addressed the difficult decision regarding Legend’s future. Explaining, she shared, per Page Six, “Since then, we have been looking for options, and I just couldn’t bring myself to what everyone else says and what you’re supposed to do, apparently — what the world tells you to do — is to put the dog down because they are aggressive.”

Recognizing the situation’s urgency, Smith shared her struggles finding a suitable solution, adding, “I know I don’t want him to go to a kill shelter … and shelters are full.”
Furthermore, she acknowledged that she had to make the difficult decision to part ways with Legend, as keeping him in her own home was no longer a viable option. In her emotional statement, she stressed, “This will be all over the place, and I’ll also start by saying I never wanted to bring this to social media, but he deserves better. I’m getting Indigo back home tomorrow, and he has to be gone by then.”
Smith also clarified that she does not intend to muzzle her dog in response to the incident. She believed putting a muzzle on him would hinder her ability to be a responsible and caring dog owner, stating, “I can’t be a good dog mom to him [if I’m] keeping a muzzle on him or a good mom in general. Having a kid just really scared of him in the home.”
She further clarified that her dog, Legend, “is not aggressive towards adults at all.” “You can get in his face, and you can do anything, and he’s still such a good dog,” she emphasized.
