Sarah Silverman Says Goodbye To Pet Dog Duck After 14 Years
Written by Vegetarian Star on September 6th, 2013 in Actresses, Animal Issues.
Sarah Silverman has written a heartfelt tribute to her beloved pet dog she adopted at a California shelter 14 years ago.
The 19-year old Duck “Doug” Silverman had been a regular at her bedside since and the two had not only weathered Silverman’s string of good and bad films, but also Duck’s blindness, deafness and arthritis as he has aged over the years.
“But with a great vet, good meds, and a first rate seeing-eye person named me, he truly seemed comfortable,” Silverman said in a post to Who Say.
The actress detailed the final moments she spent with best friend and family member.
“I held him and kissed him and whispered to him well passed his passing. I picked him up and his body was limp—you don’t think about the head—it just falls. I held him so tight. And then finally, when his body lost its heat, and I could sense the doctor thinking about the imminent rush hour traffic, I handed him over.”
