The day Teddy passed away ...
Photo taken at Savage’s house hours after Teddy was taken to a hospice .
Wish Savage the best. His dog gave him lots of joy.
God gave him a comfort sign with that rainbow. MS is gona really miss his lil buddy.
Sorry to hear that, Michael loved that dog like a child. Condolences to him.

Holy cow what a view! Is that S.F. or Miami? Savage’s real estate holdings are unreal.
He has made a lot of money with his radio show.
More power to him, except for his animal rights extremism.
Nobody is perfect.
Sometimes I wonder at my own sanity when I can shed real tears over a dog, yet stand over a dead body and eat a sandwich.
I guess it's because the dogs have no control over their own destiny, and humans do...and manage to mismanage the hell out of it.
I don't think I like humans very much.
Man, he really loved that pup...
They steal your heart and then they leave.
Mans best friend if taken care of and raised right.
I just lost a wonderful dog I’d had for nearly fourteen years. The only thing for it is to get another ASAP, which I did about three weeks ago. Once again my effort to get a Great Dane cross, which my new dog looked like, failed. Now the Pit Bull haters here are going to flame me: he’s half American Bulldog, with the rest spread between American Staffordshire Terrier, German Shepard, Labrador, and Curbstone Setter. In the last three weeks he’s grown from 62 lb. to 68. Gonna be a big doggie.
Thanks for letting us know. I know, from the latter radio broadcasts before NYC took Savage off the air, that Teddy was showing signs of Very Old Dog syndrome, with increased frequency of hospitalizations and problems. I am very puzzled why he put Teddy into hospice to die among strangers, and I know I’m not the only one with that question. Savage responded to a similar Tweeted question that Teddy was “incontinent and coughing all night”. The coughing was probably due to cardiac insufficiency allowing fluids to back up into his chest, poor little guy. The incontinence was probably due to his organs and nervous system shutting down. But why wouldn’t you take the day off and spend the remaining time with your beloved little dog? Put a diaper on him and hold him and stroke him until the end? I just don’t understand leaving him somewhere. A very smart vet tech once told me, when I asked her why my dying Maine Coon didn’t even seem to know I was there at the end, “For her to take her next breath requires all she’s got at this point. She can’t spare anything to acknowledge you.” That made sense, although it hurt. I was right there with her as the vet put her out of her kidney failure misery. She couldn’t even walk or stand up, as she was leaking too much protein for her muscles to work properly. Helping her out of this horrible situation was the last kindness I could do for her. And thus ended the 16 years she shared with me. I’m crying like a baby remembering losing her now.
” Is that S.F. or Miami. “
Don’t know where the pic was taken .
Sorry Michael......most of us know how you feel as we have been there....
I’m sorry for his loss, been there, done that, it sucks.

I could not agree more with both of them!
“I know the pain.”
And do I EVER. Nothing like it in my life.
