Former pen-seller Jack, 33, recently opened up on a “testing time” which saw him bailed from jail following his other dog Elvis’ attack on a runner.
The Essex lad was hauled to court after the hulking Cane Corso mauled Robert Sudell and a woman in 2022.
He was jailed for six weeks on January 29 after he admitted being in charge of a dangerously out-of-control dog.
But he was freed on bail shortly afterwards, while he appeals the sentence.
Yet now Jack – who won Love Island with ex Dani Dyer, 28, in 2018 – has suffered another blow with the death of his tan-coloured pet.
He started his photo memories with a snap showing him at the Good Morning Britain studios, cuddling little Bax as he posed in his red jumper.
Another snap showed them lying on the sofa together as well as posing for a selfie.
Bax was then seen in a snap with Elvis – the pooch at the centre of Jack’s court case – before a video captured him playing outside.
In his emotional caption, Jack wrote: “Rest in peace little Bax, nearly 18 years old we had a good run didn’t we mate, love you and we will all miss you.
“He even managed to get on @gmb @itv.
“That last video was in the summer, his last one x”
One fan was quick to write: “Sorry to hear this.”
Another posted: “Take care Jack please look after yourself,” as a third commented: “Ahhh bless him out of pain now beautiful baby.”
One then added: “So sorry for your loss of Bax what a little legend! Xx”

TOUGH TIMES
Last month, Jack was jailed for six weeks after he admitted being in charge of a dangerously out-of-control dog.
It is understood he has now been freed on bail while he appeals the sentence.
Courts can grant bail ahead of an appeal in exceptional circumstances.
His on-off girlfriend Chloe Brockett had earlier wept as he was taken down to the cells, while the TV star gave a thumbs up.
Elvis first attacked runner Robert in Swanley, Kent, in September 2022.
He then mauled an unnamed woman in Grays, Essex, in June 2024 but no harm was done.
Presiding magistrate Anne Wade, said that Fincham was subject to a suspended sentence order at the time.
This was after he was caught speeding down the hard shoulder in a BMW while on cocaine.
JPs heard that Jack failed to comply with three rules over the dog’s ownership following the first attack.
These included to always keep the dog on the lead, for the dog to wear a muzzle when outside and to not leave the animal alone with anyone under the age of 16.
The guidelines were set in September 2022 when Elvis bit runner Robert and he took part in a dog ownership course.
But there was another incident in June 2024 when the animal lashed out at a woman – sinking its teeth into her leg.
The court was told Jack would get Elvis back upon his jail release if the three stipulations are met.
He has previously come under fire over his pet dog.
Fans have slammed the star over Elvis’ cropped ears, which is illegal in the UK.
He also owns Sandy, a bulldog he bought while he was dating and living with his ex Dani.
Jack has candidly opened up on a suicide attempt in the aftermath of the legal battle.
He also told The Sun how he blew £1million drugs, booze and bets including £40K in a single day.
