Actress Samantha and her husband actor Naga Chaitanya have have posted photos of their pet dog Hash on their social media accounts regularly, and in particular, Samantha shares a lot of cute moments with Hash often.

Recently, Samantha celebrated the first birthday of Hash, and took it to Instagram to reveal that before Hash she had a pet Bugaboo who died because of Parvo virus and how she cried hard, and why Hash's birthday means a lot to her. 

Her post read The 1st video and 2nd photo isn’t Hash .. he was Bugaboo.. I did a 30 day course on how to raise a dog and thought I was fully prepared ..just like I had complete control over my life I thought it would be the same with raising this puppy .. but I was far from correct .. Bugaboo came with the Parvo virus and died within four days of him coming home . I remember crying so hard I rolled from the dining to the entrance of our apartment, blaming myself and promising I wouldn’t get another dog ....... A month or so later Chay started bringing up the topic of another dog because as always Chay knows best ... and on one occasion when I was in a particularly good mood I gave in ... he found Hash for me ❤️ ... I read that Parvo is a hardy virus and can live in your house months after.. I cleaned and cleaned like a crazy person annoying every vet , dog trainer , friends with dogs who I knew .. asking them If I had done enough to get this out of the house .. when Hash finally came the first few weeks were the most difficult ..I had nightmares .. I kept crying .. always expecting the worst .. now you can see why his 1st birthday means so much to me .. what I mean to say is... You can never be completely in control and you shouldn’t try to be .. don’t be so hard on yourself when something bad happens .. and most importantly Try again .. Happy first birthday Hash and congratulations to me for allowing myself to be happy.
