Since 2019, actor Martin Henderson (previously seen in Grey’s Anatomy) has been starring in Virgin River, a drama series in which he stars alongside Alexandra Breckenridge. On the eve of the end-of-year holidays, Netflix delighted its subscribers with the release of two Christmas episodes to conclude the fifth season, full of drama and twists for the residents of the fictional, remote little girl from California. While the clouds finally seem to be clearing for Jack Sheridan, the same cannot be said for his interpreter. In a recent post shared on his Instagram account, the 49-year-old actor expressed the huge void left by the disappearance of his loyal companion Sammy, a golden retriever.

Animal lover Martin Henderson doesn’t seem to rule out adopting another dog one day. “I haven’t wanted to interact with dogs since then because it still hurts a lot to get close to what I’ve lost since his death, but I have to be healing because it was a joy, this little bundle of fur and softness,” adds the former roommate of the late Heath Ledger.
