Andy Murray announces 'new addition to the family' after tragic loss
This development arrives just eight months following the passing of the Murray family's cherished border terrier, Rusty. They previously had another dog, Maggie May, who died in 2022.
However, Murray, his wife Kim, and their four children have now opened their doors to another furry friend.
"New addition to the family," the three-time Major champion posted on Instagram, announcing they had welcomed a new dog into their lives, reports the Express. Andy Murray has a new dog (Image: Instagram @andymurray)
The initial photograph captured Murray with a radiant grin as he stroked his new canine companion. The subsequent image displayed the endearing puppy positioned on the ground, striking a pose for the lens.
Last November, the 38 year old also used social media to honour Rusty, his family's beloved pet, following his death.
He posted: "You were the most loyal and protective companion our family could have wished for.
"You were so patient and gentle with the kids and we all learned so much from you. The house feels empty without you in it... Love you ruzz rest easy poppet."
Murray will certainly have his work cut out with his new puppy, though the Briton has considerable spare time following his retirement from professional tennis at the Olympics last summer. A few months after hanging up his tennis racket, he began coaching former adversary Novak Djokovic.
Murray teamed up with the world's sixth-ranked player at the Australian Open, Indian Wells, Miami Open, and Madrid Open this year before their collaboration concluded.
Nowadays, the ex-world No. 1 spends most of his time on the golf course, but he also relishes spending time at home with his family.
Earlier this summer, Murray confessed to GQ: "Right now, I don't really do anything. I'm a father, essentially.
"I used to have to explain [to them] that I'm going away to play a tournament. They liked it when I lost, because that meant I was coming home."
Now, he has another reason to stay put at home, as he's got a new puppy to train.
