One of the hardest things pet owners have to endure in life is the day they have to say goodbye, and now Kirk Herbstreit is going through it.
The ESPN analyst is going viral after he took to social media to announce that his Golden Retriever had to be put down after they found out that the cancer Ben had been dealing with had spread throughout his organs.
“This is really hard to write but so many of you have loved and cared about Ben that I wanted to let you know,” Kirk Herbstreit started off his post.
“We found out today the cancer had spread throughout Bens organs and there was nothing left we could do-we had to let him go. I’ve had dogs my whole life, but Ben was 1 on 1.
He was smart-loving-gentle-patient-inquisitive-and welcoming to all. Always a big smile and a soft tail wag. He and I could communicate.
He and I understood each other and had each others backs. He was with me more than anyone at home and traveling with me for work. Such an easy going companion.
Hard day-but he will live within all of us forever. God please bless his majestic soul and thank you for putting him in my life for the last 10 years-a true blessing.”
