The "Party in the USA" singer adopted Mary Jane in 2012 with now ex-husband Liam Hemsworth. When her dog Floyd died in 2014, Miley said that it was Mary Jane who comforted her.

Mary's other brother, Robert Silvani Sr., stayed in Detroit, married and had a son. But over the years he became estranged from his family, left Michigan, moved to California and died in Oregon.
