The new dog, named Junie, is an exact replica of Lua, allowing Brady to continue his bond with the cherished pet.
Brady's love for animals is well-documented. He has a history of volunteering at animal shelters and bonding with his kids over caring for pets. In fact, during his time with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, Brady would regularly visit a local animal shelter, often with his children in tow, to help care for the animals and even name the puppies and kittens.
This heartwarming gesture by the NFL legend is a testament to the deep connection he shared with Lua and the importance of pets in his life. As Brady navigates his post-retirement life, it's clear that his love for animals will continue to be a driving force in his personal and philanthropic endeavors.
