It was not long ago that Venus Williams gave her fans a pleasant surprise. After being away from the sport for a long time owing to an injury, she finally announced a comeback. Venus received a wildcard for the Rothesay Classic Birmingham tournament, which starts on 19 June. The last time she was in action was in January this year in New Zealand at the ASB Classic. However, due to a hamstring injury, she had to stay away.

Right before making her way to the court again, she decided to have one last vacation and spend some quality time in the Netherlands. And guess what? None other than her pet dog, Harry accompanied her on this much-needed trip to the Netherlands. Venus made sure to update her fans about this trip through cute stories on social media.

One of the most exciting things about Venus’s trip has been her beloved pet dog, who has been accompanying her on her travel. Venus has been sharing pictures of her furry friend on Instagram, revealing that her pet has been getting all ready for their trip.

However, despite all the preparation and excitement, Venus’s pet seems to have been feeling a bit lethargic during their travels. In a recent post, Venus shared a picture of her dog sleeping soundly on a bed, with the caption, “Guess who gave up.”
