Hackman's two dogs, Bear and Nikita, found new homes nearly three weeks after the death of the actor and his wife in New Mexico.

A week after officials confirmed the causes of death for actor Gene Hackman and his wife, Betsy Arakawa, a necropsy has revealed that the dead dog discovered with their bodies likely died from severe dehydration or starvation.

Gene Hackman and Betsy Arakawa’s two surviving dogs have been separated in the wake of the couple’s tragic deaths. Joey Padilla, the owner of dog daycare center Santa Fe Tails, told the Daily Mail on Tuesday that Bear, a German shepherd, and Nikita, an Akita-shepherd mix, have been sent to new homes.
