Feel bad for Kirk. Ben's not suffering anymore, he'll always have the memories as emotional and tough to bring up as it may be. I lost my beagle mix, Sandy a couple of years ago at the age if 13. It crushed me, it was tough to deal with and rough to go anywhere without her. I currently have a 2 year old beagle named Darby, and love her like my own child since I don't have any children yet. Hopefully Kirk can get a new dog buddy to travel with, but give him some time. 💔
Been crying watching the videos i lost my dashhound dog angel in April 2004 i know what its like to loose a part of the family prayers to kirk herbstreet and family
Me and my pops lost our dog last year from heart attack and he was my dads best friend then lost my moms dog to cancer couple years ago and I watched not only myself cry but my mom and dad cry to this because Kirk’s message was so relatable I honestly think it touched all of America if not the world at dang 10 am this morning made America cry
Ben representing what a dog means in a man's life: love, company, loyalty... Kirk representing what we all feel when we lose our best friend... Kirk a gentleman who was brave an human live in national TV Thanks God for dogs, the human best friends ❤
I lost my 14 year old boxer mix 6 months ago, I feel for Kirk in his loss. Especially addressing it so publicly. RIP Ben, you made Kirk's life better & brightened so many lives.
I’m shocked Kirk even was on game day last week. Ben’s shining down on him. He will be missed by many people. Especially the college football community. The loss of a pet is gut wrenching. I follow Kirk on Instagram and when I saw that post about Ben, my heart sank. Kirk, thank you so much for sharing Ben with the college football community. We’ll miss you Ben
My condolences to Kirk Herbstreit i totally understand i have had 6 dogs that lasted their total life span just lost one on 11/15/24 named cinnamom it has been a hard day but she loved playing with her ball & a truly belive all dogs do go to heaven.
Wish he got to talk about ben more but you can tell kirk is definitely not ready to talk... godbless you kirk i know exactly what you're going through! Heaven got a 5 star legend
What a beautiful tribute to Ben. Thank you Kirk & ESPN for sharing this. Ben was precious. RIP precious creature. You will be missed but never forgotten.
I know the pain all too well. My sweet husky Rhea was taken by illness at 5- 1/2 years old, way too early. Over one year later, I still feel the pain as if was only yesterday. I keep reminding myself that it was better to have loved and lost than to have never loved at all. I know you gave Ben the fullest life possible. Rest in peace Ben, you will no longer be in pain. God bless you Kirk. You are not alone.
If that video doesn't put tears in someone's eyes then they don't have a heart! It sucks losing a pet no matter if it's a dog or cat or any other animal.
I've lost 2 dogs on my entire life and hurts more than any other ex i've ever had in my life its like something inside me left with them. Its tough very though but its part of life.
So, who was the retriever walking around the set of GameDay this morning? (And no, I'm not insinuating anything. I'm just curious because I didn't catch the whole show.)
Listen, really drribke tobhear about Ben. Losing a dog is devastating for anyone who has gone through it. It is truly losing a family member. HOWEVER, the TV volume on 95??? 👀 Boy I know your neighbors across the street know exactly what Herbstriet sounds like crying now 😂
R.I.P. Ben Herbstreit. R.I.P.
Appreciate the lead in. Wanted to see the reaction at the desk.
me to
That's what I came here for, too. Thank you.
What Kirk will never realize is just seeing that silly dog helped so many people. Thank you Kirk for sharing your story
Nicely said...I bet he does realize ❤
Here I am a 33 year old guy sitting in my car on break at work crying over a dog that wasn't even mine. RIP Ben
59 yo.. broke down as well. i've been there with a dog as well
Sat in the pub waiting for my mates and watched this. Had to go outside to the beer garden in my sunglasses 😅.
62, right there with you.
Don’t feel ashamed man!!! Dogs are so special! To me, they’re the true reason my heart beats per second
33…same
Absolutely sobbing on Saturday morning is not how I thought I would start my day. RIP sweet Ben.
Me either
Man..this was tough to watch. Thanks for sharing Ben with us Kirk😢😢
Thank you for posting the beginning of it.
No problem!

I cry over my dogs, passing much more than some relatives.
They are the best God gave us.
RIP Big Ben.
❤️🐶❤️🐶
I think it's normal when you spend so much of your everyday with them. RIP ben
I wouldn’t be alive if not for my dog. Tough to watch. Feel for Kirk, his family, and all football fans.
if this doesn't get you right in the feels, you're just not human.
Man. That got me. My dog is truly my buddy. Godspeed Kirk.
Dang that’s rough, losing a dog is the worst. Rip Ben and sorry Kirk!!!
Man I got tears rolling down my face I feel so bad for Kirk and such a good boy Ben you will be missed ❤

So sad to see Ben passing, it’s true they just don’t live long enough that’s why you must be great full for every second they are with you

One of the worst feelings is losing a life you feel like is supposed to be with you forever.
Thank you for posting the video
Your welcome.
Dogs are great friends..
Best friends
We all love ben!!!
I never seen a tribute like that in my life aside from the gaudreau brothers back in august
God Bless Kirk, I have 3 Senior dogs, and I know that day is coming. Dogs are great.
Whos cutting onions? I missed the show so thank you for showing the reactions. Saban even looked like he was about to shed a tear.
Classy move by Davis to get the camera back on him
What a beautiful tribute to Ben. Thank you Kirk & ESPN for sharing this. Ben was precious. RIP precious creature. You will be missed but never forgotten.
You can see the love. RIP Ben

Rest in peace Ben ❤
I was looking for this. Thank You! 😢
You're welcome!

Seeing his hands shake as he breaks down, makes me just want to give Kirk a hug. I’m glad he had Lee and Peter there to help calm him down
I'm thankful to see this - had to leave to sing at a Veterans Day Service and couldn't stay home to see this live - thank you. 😭
I've lost 2 dogs on my entire life and hurts more than any other ex i've ever had in my life its like something inside me left with them. Its tough very though but its part of life.
Heartbreaking
Love ❤️ you BEN will see you soon
Dogs are the best.
Ben was a treasure!!
We mourn with you Kirk. ❤
Right now, I’m in the middle of Hobby Lobby with tears streaming down my face.
Dogs never see our faults only our good,I believe Its GODS way of giving us the perfect best friend.
Rip Ben man🧎🏽♂️
If we were 1/4 the persons our dogs think we are, this world would be such a better place
I'm not going to cry. I'm not going to cry...... Dammit!
That is so sad rip 😢
RIP LUH YEW HERBIE AND BEN
All dog owners know that pain when you have to put down your dog. It guts you. I have had to do it 3 times. I feel so bad for Kirk.
59yo.. broke down a bit seeing Kirk break down. I've been there with a dog as well. It's rough...
Corso their for
Kirk
Heaven just got a 5 star chief happiness officer.
So, who was the retriever walking around the set of GameDay this morning? (And no, I'm not insinuating anything. I'm just curious because I didn't catch the whole show.)
🙏🏽💯
Kirk could easily took today off to recover instead of going to college Game day. Everyone would of understand why he would not be there
We definitely don’t deserve dogs
Why?
Man Desmond Howard set there like a stump on a log...
😔
Do they Really Need 6 People on the Desk..jeez
Listen, really drribke tobhear about Ben. Losing a dog is devastating for anyone who has gone through it. It is truly losing a family member. HOWEVER, the TV volume on 95??? 👀
Boy I know your neighbors across the street know exactly what Herbstriet sounds like crying now 😂
I feel you pain Kirk
Saban and macfee trying not to laugh. Get a grip dude. I bet ge voted for kamala
They're eating the cats They're eating the dogs. My best Halloween costume.
Rest up Ben
It just absolutely sucks when a dog dies. It just hurts . Like there's nothing else about it to say.
Rest in peace Ben ❤️
