So sorry for your loss Kirk. Dogs are family and it’s so hard to see them sick. Hope you and you family will feel better soon and that your dogs spirit will fly high! Lots of love sent your way 🐕 🕊️ ❤️
RIP Ben, I got to see you in person when I worked at the Texas vs Georgia game & as someone who’s grown up around Golden’s, you were an absolute joy. My deepest condolences to the entire Herbstreit family for your loss.
Lost our golden to cancer almost 5 yrs.ago. The hurt is still there. Know exactly how Kirk feels. Ben was a beautiful dog and a best friend to him. Yes, I believe animals go to Heaven. God be with Kirk and his family during this sad time
My heart has been broken so many times in my life after losing one of my dogs. It is NEVER easy, and the pain is always there. I never will recover! I mourn with Kirk, and pray that he can just get through one day at a time, just as i do. Rest In Peace, Ben. Run forever free at the Rainbow Bridge! :(
Losing your fur baby is so hard. Rip Ben . So sorry for your loss. . They take hold of your heart and dont let go. If you ever had pets you know that day is coming where you have to say goodbye and isit is when of the hardest days but know he loved you as. Much as you loved him and he will live in your heart forever. Thank you for sharing him with the world.
Thank you for sharing your wonderful, best friend, Ben, with all of us. The more you love, the more it hurts, but the precious memories are so worth it. Love you, gentle(man) Ben.💙❤️RIP. Prayers for you and your family, Kirk.🙏🐾💞🙏
Such a true statement, I've said it myself having experienced it , the only thing wrong with a good dog is they just don't live long enough. But they sure leave their paw prints on our hearts.❤
My younger brother Patrick and I got a black Labrador retriever pitbull mix named Maggie from the Oregon humane society back on June 22nd 2013 she was 9 years old we had her for 5 wonderful years until August 20th 2018 when she passed away from cancer she was 14 years old 😢💔 She was our first dog ever
Ben you left us too soon. I am sad that you are not here. Charlie my Schnauzer will be waiting for you over the rainbow 🌈 Ben. He passed over 2/27/24. Rest in peace 😇 angels.....
This is unfortunately a trauma any good dog dad/mom signs up for on day one. You're trading to get 3500 great days *on average in exchange for 1 gut renching tramaic one.. A dog will only break your heart once, the day they cross. Gods speed Kirk, time heals all.
The hardest part of loving a pet is having to say goodbye. Rest in peace, Ben.
It's like Kirk said in his tribute. Dogs only flaw is they have a shorter lifespan than we do
Losing a four legged best friend is one of the most heartbreaking moments in a persons life rip Ben 💐💐💐🐕🦺🐕🦺🐕🦺
It’s always heartbreaking to lose a beloved pet. Sincere condolences to Kirk and his family.
Oh man this hurts he was an amazing dog rest in heaven buddy🙏🙏🙏

My Chow died at age 4 of a rare oral cancer. There was nothing we could do to save his life. It’s very hard to deal with.

I’m so very sorry….dogs are the Best!!!
It’s hard to find a good Pard and I know you did the right thing for your Pard. After all, that’s what made you Pards to begin with.

This is unfortunately a trauma any good dog dad/mom signs up for on day one. You're trading to get 3500 great days *on average in exchange for 1 gut renching tramaic one.. A dog will only break your heart once, the day they cross. Gods speed Kirk, time heals all.
Oh nooo

That is actually a really beautiful statement. 💙💞
