The absolute worst part of pet ownership is saying goodbye. Sorry for the loss John and anyone else grieving.
The truest statement
To John and everyone else mourning the loss of their furry family, I hope you can draw comfort from the knowledge that you gave them the best possible life you could, and that they wanted for naught.
“Dogs' lives are too short. Their only fault, really.”
― Agnes Sligh Turnbull
I've always hated when people say "pet ownership"; they are our animal companions, not things to own. But I do agree with you, the worst part is that they live so short lives.
I'm in literal tears. I miss my Bella every single day. Rottie Lab, she was the BEST girl. Rest in peace my love!
This makes me remember when my first dog died and I kept going to the bathroom to cry at work, and my manager said, “For Pete’s sake, it’s just a dog.” I was upset with her at the time, but now, I just feel sorry for her. Imagine not knowing the pure joy of having a dog, and not understanding the absolute anguish of losing one of these angels on earth. That’s a misspent life.
I lost my first dog to a car back in ‘12 and it just about destroyed me. I went to work the next day, and the guys immediately knew what was up. They could be real jerks sometimes, but they gave me the space to work through my grief and they were sympathetic ‘cause luckily they understood. How unlucky your boss has been.
They r to be pitied anyone not experiencing that pure form of love. I would have been tempted to say “yeah and this is just a job”
My boi was a bearded collie... He had congestive heart failure and at only 7 years old, I had to help him go. He was smart and playful, intuitive, loving, loyal... A "friend" called me a few days later and I told her that I lost him, and I cried like a baby. She never broke stride and told me, *"IT'S just a dog. You can get another."*
I realized, after that 20 year "friendship" that she was never really my "friend," because she didn't know me at all much less, care.
I've had a lot of special dogs in my life, far out numbering special people. That story is just one example of why.
I can easily live without many people in my life, but I can't survive without my dogs. They deserve so much more than what we, as mere humans, can give them. ❤️🩹
I hope she's not your manager anymore! My workplace gives 3 days paid bereavement time for pet loss.
She wouldn't know that you have never really loved until you have experienced the pure & unconditional love of a dog. 💞🐕💝🌈💔💔😭
I had to take my boy for his last journey today. After nearly 14 years, "He was ready...I wasn't", has me in tears. I wasn't ready for Henry to go, but I will live with the honour of being his world.
My fuzzy little girl was also ready, and I so was not. It’s been 3 years and I swear I STILL hear her paws on the floor in the other room sometimes. The loss of a fur baby is like no other 💕 I swear they save our lives more than we save theirs.
@@samjabobs22 Absolutely, they do..... . So sorry for your loss... 😢
I'm so sorry - I had to do the same for my sweet old buddy yesterday. Age 14+, had her for 13 wonderful years. She was the best friend anyone could ever hope to have, and I'll miss her for the rest of my life. I believe that letting them go peacefully when it's time is the last loving gift we can give our companions; as you grieve, remember that you did right by your boy to the end.
@@fortalezadadorI'm so sorry for your loss❤
I'm so sorry for your loss; our pets are family, and it hits hard😢
As an animal rescuer, there are no words to express what Jon has done for the cause in 3 short minutes. He promoted animal rescue, adopt not buy, and unconditional love for what many would consider to be an unadoptable dog. Thank you for this gift. You have changed people's minds and hearts in minutes and have changed the future lives of hundreds if not thousands of shelter animals. You have done more in 3 minutes than I have done in a lifetime of animal rescue.
As a woman, thank you for showing that men can cry, men can show emotion, men can break down, and men and openly mourn the death of their best friend.
As a human, thank you for epitomizing unconditional love for all creatures great and small.
This 3 minutes segment changed me. For the better.
Very well said.
Beautiful❤
I remember seeing my dad break down and cry when he lost his dog to cancer at age 10. It showed me he is human.
very deep and insightful. Thank you for sharing that, I know you have a beautiful soul.❤
Well said!❤
Can we all recognize how hard it was for Jon to open up like that? And also recognize how much strength is needed for someone to do that in front of anyone, let alone the world. And to go on with a show this big, right after a loss?
This is why Jon is a role model. R.I.P. Dipper.
Well said! Political satire has at its roots a profound need to speak truth to power when power becomes corrupt. Jon Stewart has been uncompromising and dispassionate and fair as he could be and this moment of a real human being who cares deeply about things meant a lot to me.
Respect.
Mad respect 🫡 here’s to you John, bless you, your kind family and the animals you care so deeply about ❤ way to make a difference to so many animals and people
I cried so hard, lost mine about a year and a half ago, still hurts just as bad as it did the day it happens.
@@christianstarling3710 My husband was away our dog no choice I felt so bad for the vet sat on the curb as if a donkey had kicked me in the stomach. A friend brought me a puppy who literally saved my life. tx for wonderful comment.
Watching a grown man cry over his dog makes me feel so validated. My cat of 17 years died this past fall and I was devastated. I didn't know that I could love a non-human so much or that a non-human could love me so much. We don't deserve the pure and unconditional love of animals.
We said goodbye to our 18 yo furball in November. I still get hit by sudden bouts of crying in random moments.
I'm 45, always had two Malinois (male and female) since I was little. Raised all of them from from 7/8 week puppies and I cried when every one of them left me. I look at my two now (who are getting older) and dread that day I know is coming.
Well-said. I went through the exact same thing with my cat who was nearly 15 and he was the best friend I could ever have. Their love is like nothing else.
We had to put our cat down last week. I’m still not over it.
My cat died suddenly last year. I only had him 2 years. He was 9, not even 10 yet. Sudden heart failure. In the short time I knew him, he left an indelible mark on my life.
Jon, I don't know if you'll ever see this, but my heart breaks for you. I lost my goodest of boys in January, and I cried alongside you through your whole speech. He was THAT dog for me, my best friend. Thank you for sharing your grief so publicly because I know it's the hardest thing to do. Hugs to you and your family, from another bereaved dog family.
@@theuploader2660you're sick.
@@theuploader2660Sad to be you.
Even more of a reason why I love this man! Any person who shows that kind of compassion towards animals is an angel in my eyes! Rest in peace, sweet pup. ❤
Yes! And, I wonder how many people know that he turned his family farm into an Animal Sanctuary, and became a vegetarian/vegan. He truly 'walks his talk'... ❤
To anyone who’s ever lost a beloved pet, let no one minimize your grief, the connection of pure friendship that exists between people and their animal companions is truly remarkable and each pet is unique and irreplaceable. I mourn for the cat we lost in 2019. We have others who we’re privileged to care for. And yet…
@jackp.3605 You can do all and be aware there's an issue at the border along with loving and grieving a pet. That's why people grieve their pets, they are not miserable like YOU ARE.
I think the grief can even be worse in some cases hate to say it....we can have adversarial relations with people, but our pets are love and innocence personified...basically forever babies.
Lost one of mine just this past October. It still guts me, I wonder if I'll ever move on. Of course I know I will but the interim is crushing. Thank you for the lovely words.
Thank you for this beautiful statement.
Absolutely
Our "pets" are legitimate Family members. I don't care what anyone thinks. Siblings to our children, and our children
So rare to say this: but this is the one TH-cam comment threads that actually restores some of my faith in humanity. Like many of you, I cried watching this. The love we share with our animals is brilliant, but the ability to share in each others’ grief and love, to see myself in all of you, is what makes it next level beautiful (as the kids say).
Very true.. I feel the same 😊
I think sometimes we come across something we’re supposed to read or watch.. For me, I lost my beautiful cat last month, he was with me for 16 yrs & there was nothing I wouldn’t do for him. It made me happy to see him happy. And I’m lost without my friend. Seeing all the amazing - and heartfelt comments made me feel a little better about the world.
@@menmykrazycat8129I'm sorry for your loss. 🐈🙏🐈⬛
Your first mistake was looking at a TH-cam comment section o restore your faith.
Well put. The support that people are showing for shared grief is awesome. Restoring faith in humanity sums it up.
@@menmykrazycat8129 We've had many animals and know one thing: they'll have a shorter life than we'd wish and we'll do anything to make that time as great as they make make ours. There's one in my life that I'll always remember and grieve for, a cat who jumped ship to slip into my heart.
She did that to me, a non-cat-interested person. Eighteen months gone and I dreamed of her a few weeks ago. I saw her well. I hope you also get those. Be well.
I have had "that dog" over and over in my life. I only had 4 years without a dog in my life. At 25, I got my first apartment, and the first dog that was totally mine. From then on, I always had at least one dog in my life. And I loved each and every one of them. They were each "that dog." I'm 73 and disabled now, and I worry that there will come a time when I can't have "that dog" in my life. I don't want to go on without them in my life!
"He was ready. He was tired.. but I wasn't."
Those words hit like a ton of bricks. I cry every time I hear him say it. And I keep returning to this clips. I leave always loved Jon. I can't express how much my love and Respect for the man has grown and continues to.
I'm a 50 yr old "tough, tattooed" man. when my Dapple Daushaund I had for 15yrs died last year I cried like a baby. I even still sleep with the blanket that she loved to curl up in. Watching John break down absolutely brought back all that pain. I'm sorry for his loss.
sending you love. Thank you for sharing.
this Jew is just pulling on your heart strings so u agree with his politics, be a man ffs.
True love! Thank you for sharing. Hey, even the toughest of us have emotions that are true to us.
@@tactik5903 your parents never loved you
I still cry after my gorgeous Irish Setter died Dec 4/23 . And I do logistics, talk to long haul drivers every day and all of us have mouths of sailors.
Jon Stewart, your vulnerability in your loss touched a common chord with your audience. Anyone who has had a pet will know that grief and loss are a part of that beautiful, goofy, loving, sometimes chaotic package. We know it when we take them on, and yet somehow, when the time comes, it's always the same, heart-wrenching, emptying experience. I am so glad you found your heart-dog, and that he found you and your family. I feel certain he had the very best life, being loved by all of you. And last, thank you for your wish - that everyone experience the joy and healing of finding a heart animal at least once in their lives.
Heart-wrenching is watching a soldier self- immolate in a live FB stream. Even worse, is Jon Stewart not talking about it!
Thank you for the beautiful words Julie. I have an 11 yr old labradoodle who still looks and acts the same way she did when she was 4. I'm dreading that day, but trying to cherish every moment I have with her. I've been told there's no way to prepare for it, so I just try not to think about it as best I can. Which isn't easy, the older she gets. Watching Jon's raw emotion, I feel for him, there's just something about the attachment between us and animals that's unmatched. Anyway, thanks again for the kind words, it helps to hear that others understand the love and pain that goes into this.
@@denisberger7Gotta be a clown, huh? Go back to worshipping Trump.
Nah. He just learned to be emotionally manipulative.
@@chillfluencerYou either get it or you don’t, you don’t
Animals with their unconditional love, the tail wags, their forgiving spirit, and the never-ending kisses are the greatest gift to man. To live a life without animal companionship is not really living. I’m truly sorry for your loss. Take comfort in knowing you gave that sweet boy a GREAT life. ❤
Earth angels ❤
Lost my dog a few months ago. He would be 18 this year.
Had him since he was 40 days old.
Saw him in my dream just 2 days ago. Woke up, bawled my eyes out…
I miss him so much.
I lost my childhood dog of 17 years back in 2020 and I still think about her every day
This was just such a pure, unfiltered moment of emotion, I went from totally unemotional to crying within 2 minutes. Thank You john, for sharing this moment of vulnerability with us. I have not seen enough grown men cry and be emotional in my life, and this was one of those moments for me. Thank You ❤
Sobbing with all of you. OGCrew❤
Bless you , Sir
I'm almost done with my lunch break at work and now my next customer will get me totally red faced.
Those who lost a friend knows better....When my cat Sunshine died at Thanksgiving day in my lap..part of me died too...
That's why we love the man Jon has always been...
We don't see this kind of emotion often enough, particularly in public figures. Huge respect to Jon Stewart for sharing this. I already think the world of him but my respect went into the stratosphere after seeing this. Thank you.
Absofuckinglutely 💙
I wish I had the confidence to cry in front of someone, let alone on television.
Very well said, thank you. I so heartily agree.
Forgive me, I don't want to get political about this, but it goes to the heart of what is going on in all the chaos, hate, fear & lies right now.
The thing that struck me is how starkly this shows the difference in BASIC HUMANITY between the media & political machines of the left & right. Can you imagine ANYone on fox"news" sharing a genuinely emotional heartfelt human moment like this? Can you imagine Tucker not somehow vaguely questioning if Hunter Biden's Laptop was somehow involved in assassinating his cat or some other freak there blaming Taylor Swift for nailing their dead parrot's feet to the perch (Monty Python fans will get it )?
Or worst of all, trump (who is incapable of having a pet) (or an emotion) not eulogizing his lost hamster without blaming immigrants, windmills or going on about how it took 10, 15 flushes to make it go down the toilet? Or bringing up the election yet again, claiming he is the best pet owner since Michael Vick or telling a story about how a big strong hamster wrangler came up to him, tears in his eyes... (you know the rest)?
It has little to do with politics. It has everything to do with the difference between humane humans and inhuman monsters.
My exact thoughts on Stewart too 👍🏼
It's been over ten years, and to this day the quiet is what always gets to me. Some voices and sounds stick with you, and when they're gone, no matter what else comes into your life, you can always notice what's missing, nothing fills the space, perhaps new spaces open up, but some others are like certain empty chairs, you know what should be there, and you always keep looking. 🐕
I found that the death of my cat Simba hit me harder than the deaths of any family or friends. I think it's because we get so used to seeing them every day and then suddenly they are gone. It's almost impossible to escape the constant reminder they are gone.
So well put. The last loss was the last dog I’ll ever have.🥺 and that was 13 years ago.
So eloquently put - thank you.
Dogs, cats....all sorts of animals are the greatest repositories of love on this Earth. They will never get tired of you. They will never "outgrow " you. They will never need to "find themselves" and they will never think differently about you if your career is going well or not. All they require from you is to reciprocate the love they so effortlessly provide. Condolences, John.
You're absolutely right that animals have so much love to give. Some pets do choose other people, though.
A neighbor's cat followed me home. No matter how many times I took him back, he'd be at my front door before I was. I was lucky to be chosen, and also lucky that the neighbors were ok with his choice. ❤
Animals can be the best companions.
@LydiaFrost-pw7zj That sounds like the cat distribution system at work. 🥰
@Chatta-Ortega well said. I’m both a cat & dog mom…all rescues. They all are such a wonderful gift from our Creator & I’m always thankful! 🫶🏼🐾
My pet bunny is 10+ years, she's old and has health issues, I know she will soon leave me. I have chronic health issues myself and feel guilty that I sometimes can't take care of her as much as she deserves.
But she has always, always showed me love, never resentment. I had to leave her to someone else for months to go to the hospital. When I came back, it was as if I had never left. "Those people who took care of me for months? I don't even know them. You're my mom, nobody can replace you, and you're back, it's all that counts."
I'm currently sick and in bed. Everytime I get up, she runs towards me despite her arthritis and stays close to my feet, she just wants love. I don't deserve her.
I cried during the entire video because I lost other pets in the past, but this tiny bunny is the closest friend I've had in my entire life and I'm afraid of what will happen when she'll no longer be there...
Pets are family. Period. It hurts just as much. We are grieving with you Mr. Stewart
I agree watching a
dog or pet die is just as the same as a baby dying from an a abortion or watching one of your family members die 😓it does hurt but knowing that their dead and knowing their in peace and no one can hurt them ever again makes it peaceful 🥲I feel bad for John having is dog pass away just yesterday that’s got to hurt 😓but on the bright side while is dog won’t ever be forgotten anytime soon 😐i would say it’s time to heal and make new memories 🙂as their are animals and puppy’s like dipper that live in shelters like someone living in a jail cell 😑 we humans are the top predators but even we have our roles in
Maintaining a healthy planet 😐their are dogs and other animals just like dipper the best we can do is give them the best life 🙂
@@jettmthebluedragon a baby dying from an a abortion wow ofc there rules in this aswell but i guess you want total ruleing in this no exceptions so let a 12 year old keep it oh but there is place´s you can go yeah but there is about how many people again in the usa
@jetmthebluedragon Dude, shut up & take your anti-abortion B.S. somewhere else. This is not the time or the place.
You got that right!
What are you all talking about. No. A pet dying doesn't hurt like the loss of a child.
THAT ONE DOG!!! I ended up with my current dog by agreeing to watch him for someone. Its 8 years later. He was there during my darkest time. In 2020 I got Covid really bad. I buried my aunt, grandmother, dad and 2 friends. This dog kept me moving and would even attempt to lick my tears. My Doctor told me if I had not been walking my dog i would have gotten pneumonia. I stuggled to breath walking him but guilt didnt allow me to stop. I am grateful that he forced me out of bed everyday.
I’m so sorry for all your losses. Last year through this year has been rough for me - a first degree relative diagnosed with stage three cancer, a second first-degree relative with precancer signs and put on screenings (so currently working through the system trying to get screened myself), another family member diagnosed with a different type of cancer, another relative falling down and getting a hip replacement, me falling down the stairs last month and fracturing my humerus and them finding a lesion on the bone. I don’t know what I’d do without my dog. When I fell down the stairs and was in shock he came over and laid down on top of my torso to warm me up till I calmed down. I dread the day he gets tired.
I’m so thrilled that Jon Stewart is back , he is the Voice , the only voice we have today that is sane but so very sorry to hear he and his family lost their beloved Dipper it’s heartbreaking and hurts but in time maybe , in time, maybe another dog not to replace Dipper but to start another set of memories , you’ll always have Dipper IN YOUR HEART so sorry for your loss sympathies to you Jon and your family , come on , one day at a time , love you Jon 🌹🌺❤️🌹🌺❤️🌺🌹❤️🌺🌹❤️🌺🌹❤️🌹
@@cynthiahusband106couldn't agree more re jon. That guy should always have a platform. It's not about politics with him (for me). I just think he's a great HUMAN. A sentiment that I think our country has grossly forgotten about...
I wish everybody that watches this can show pictures of their own dippers. They all are so special and life with its undying love can never be matched.
I got so sad and glad at the same time for your story. I also lost my dad, grandma, and an aunt in 2020 due to Covid-19. My German shepard- Doberman mixed breed dog was my angel during that time. She passed in Jan 2022, and without her, I don't know if I could have coped the most horrible year of my life so far. I'm so grateful for her, my angel, my Nena ❤
My heart goes out to anyone here who has lost a beloved animal companion. No matter what anyone tells you, it is a profound loss. Just know you are not alone in your grief. You will always find someone who understands. And there is always an animal in need waiting to be loved. They do have a way of finding us 🤗
I just lost my cat on Valentines Day
I'm so sorry. Please know my thoughts are with you. I'm sure your kitty was an important part of your life and was loved beyond measure ❤️. Take care 🤗
@ee1177 Thank you so much. I'm healing but would give everything to have another play/cuddle night with him.
@@patricklechner190 What was your kitty's name? If you don't mind me asking.
@@ee1177 His name is Leroy Brown.
Oh man this made me drop some big tears! Anyone who has felt this deep, gut punching sadness from losing your beloved side kick, your best mate, your soul dog knows this hurt, a hurt that reduces you to a weeping mess. My heart goes out to you Jon on the passing of your boy Dipper, thanks for sharing just how much he meant to you.
He defended 9/11 first responders in need of healthcare, military veterans needing healthcare, going to animal rescue shelters to raise money for them; Jon Stewart is amazing.
I've always said if Jon Stewart wanted to run for President he would win in a landslide
My 15 year old Dachshund passed this morning. Her name was Pixel and she brought me incredible joy and comfort through some of the hardest parts of my life. We are so lucky to share time with these incredible beings.
Thank you Jon for reminding me that it's okay to cry.
Hugs ❤
So sorry for your loss ❤
awww, Pixel. I'm sorry
i am so sorry you lost pixel. they just don't live long enough......
I am so so sorry for your loss ❤
Thank you for being so open and vulnerable on air. The grief from saying goodbye to a pet is often dismissed. I am so sorry for your loss, but I'm happy to know that you were able to share such love with Dipper. ❤
10 years ago my last cat died at 21years-old and it feels like yesterday. The vet told me he was trying to stay alive for me. He had taken care of me for years while I was trying to gain a diagnosis for a medical condition. He would lay on top of me in bed when he knew the pain was too much for me. I am waiting for a bird to hatch to bring home now. I will never have another cat. I don't need one because mine remains with me every day.
He's still with you, Jon! He will always be with you!
Jon Stewart, your willingness to share Dipper with all of us was so brave. Losing out pets is the one of the hardest things we do in our lives. They never stay long enough, but certainly can let us know when they are ready. Kudos to you and your family for listening to and observing Dipper; they have a way of helping us make those heartbreaking decisions. May your memories help ease your pain.
When you say, 'they never stay long enough' it's SO true. It's been 9 yrs. since I lost my 39 yr. old Amazon parrot. His name was Postcard and I still (on occasion) will think about my time with him and break out in tears. I was a Psych Tech and he would come to work with me. On the day he passed my co-workers also cried. My boss told me to take off as long as I needed.
So sorry for the loss of your dear friend. My thoughts are with you at this oh so difficult time!🐶🐾🌈😇
They are spirit guides,sent to us to teach us about the best way to love❤
Unconditional ❤we will see them again.when I lost my little man,a Chihuahua named husky❤tears did not ask permission to flow on to his little body.i went numb, it's been eleven years and he is still the king in my heart.
Sending you so much ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
This broke me. My 15.5 year old pug is sleeping between my legs right now and I have resuscitated him several times over the past few weeks. He loves life so much but each day is a blessing and I cannot fathom my existence without him in it. I thank him daily for allowing me to be a part of his life and the day he goes it will crush everything. He truly is my soulmate.
I had a pug for more than 13 years and having to say goodbye to him was the worst day of my life other than losing my Dad. Pugs are the best. I'm glad you still have yours.
It’s a dog
I’m sure you’ll be fine drama queen
@@altingashi3927 I feel sorry for you to have obviously never had the experience of love & undying friendship of an animal yet alone perhaps from anyone.
Your anger & compassionless comment speaks volumes.
@@SaultiBalldeipdon’t pay them any mind. People that aren’t sympathetic towards people and animals are the absolute worst beings. Those people aren’t worth our time.
I hope you and your dog have many moments together! ❤
@@jhc3createswell said 💕 People like that are just looking for a back and forth. It’s ALL they have and it’s really sad. But don’t give them the satisfaction. Give your fur baby a pet, block that “human” and move on 🐶🐱❤
My 18 year old dog about two months ago and I still feel shattered but I’m definitely getting better… Jon, I know exactly how you feel down to the letter. You dedicating this segment to Dipper was so cathartic and validating to see because I often feel ridiculous for my mourning. Thank you and rest in peace sweet Dipper
Please don’t ever feel ridiculous! The pain of losing a beloved furry friend is one of the things that unites us. Just read through these comments. So many stories of beloved cats, dogs, bunnies, etc. I feel your pain and am sorry for your loss ❤
You are not ridiculous! I felt that way too. You lost your daily companion of 18 years. That is a family member who deserves to be mourned
"he was tired, he was ready...but I wasn't". as soon as Jon said it, I bawled. I have a 5yo mini schnauzer and she means the world to me. so this hit really close to home and I'm so sorry for your loss Jon. dogs are the most beautiful animals on this planet.
When he said that my heart just broke. I lost my 11 year old puggle a few years ago. It’s bittersweet because I miss him so much, but I’m so grateful for all the memories he gave me. Dogs are literal angels in my opinion. They’re the best. 💚💚
We really don’t deserve them 😢❤
As are cats, to cat lovers :-) As is really any loved pet, to a loving owner.
My family has a 14 year old mini schnauzer. Mini schnauzers are the best. We wanna hold onto her as long as we can. Cherish your schnau. Marvel at its post-nap messy beard whenever possible. Look your schnauzer in the eyes because you know it’ll always look right back. Pat its head until it falls asleep. Enjoy every moment with one of the world’s all-time great dog breeds.
I lost my mini schnauzer almost 6 years ago. My heart still breaks just talking about her.
When she died I literally thought my family was going to have to hospitalize me because I was losing my mind with grief.
I ended up fostering a 4-week-old kitten that was skin and bones.
That’s what pulled me out of my depression, knowing that this little kitten needed me.
And I still have him. He’s now a 13lb cat that runs this house.
But neither my husband nor I feel ready to get another dog. That little schnauzer had our hearts and she took too much of it with her when she went.
There’s going to be a schnauzer-shaped hole in mine the rest of my life, I think.
"He was tired, he was ready... but I wasn't."
those words truly do cut deep. I lost my Ariel- my white Pitbull, a couple of weeks ago. She was my baby and saving grace for the last 15 years of my live. She had fought cancer, had seizures and she was living and thriving but of course time is our own enemy and she was tired as well.... Mind you I have had pets and dogs before but this one was mine and I thought at this point I was somewhat desensitized or at least when that moment was coming I would be ready and mentally prepared- truth is no one is EVER ready for it.... She went to sleep with relaxing dog music, had her stuffed lambchop right beside her, and as she closed her eyes the last thing she saw was me- telling her that her daddy loved her so much and always will.... It's still feels off she is not here but I know she is at peace and that I did give her the best live I could.
I am 100% sure that it meant everything to her that you were there for her through to the very end. My heartfelt condolences.
Yes. Simple true words. Been there myself more then once. It really never gets easier (and shouldn't).
I’m so, so sorry. 😔
I just stopped crying from the video and then I read your touching story and I’m crying again. I’m so sorry for your loss. Sounds like Ariel had an extremely difficult illness, but was blessed to have a dad like you. I can’t think of a better way to say goodbye than what you did. I’m so sorry man. Rest in Peace Ariel.
I feel you, dude. Lost my 12 year old pittie about 9 months ago. It's a lot better than it was, but I still miss her often. Pitties are just so special.
Our 11 year old girl Smokey passed on yesterday at home with the help of a Vet who must of truly been an angel walking on earth. She was my kitty, she is what saved me, on so many of my darkest days. I am so, so privileged and lucky, to get to help usher her over the rainbow bridge with love. We do it because we love them, you did well Mr. Stewart. You did well. Sending so many hugs.
I’m so sorry for your loss. Losing an animal friend is absolutely devastating and one of the hardest things one can experience in this life.
But you gave Dipper a beautiful life and he gave you unconditional love. What a blessing it is to be able to experience such love, bond and connection.
I'm in my 40s, combat war vet and our 15 year old Boston Terrier who we picked when he was a few weeks old passed away last year. I have never cried so much before and we still cry every now and then.
I lost my Boston Terrier Bugaboo last year. I never understood the concept of a dog being a best friend until I had her. There's still a hole in my heart where she used to be.
@@arizonajoe6813 So sorry for your loss. I was never a dog person, my wife always was. I didn't want any but my wife convinced me. I researched dogs,and actually picked him from the litter. He was truly my best friend. Changed my view on dogs for life.
@@AM-el4iv Sorry for your loss. The right dog is like magic. It's amazing what you discover with them ❤
First of all thank you for your service and heroism. I am sorry for your loss. It is possible that you have lost friends in combat. Something we never ever be able to comprehend. However, our pets are our friends in the combat of life and when we lose them the pain is very gut wrenching. I still mourn my furry life friends and warriors. I salute you
I was in no way emotionally prepared to watch that. My dog passed in November '22 and I'm still not over it and this just brought it all back to the surface.
But Jon being willing to be so open and raw with the audience (and the internet) is incredible. That is an amazing example for encouraging the showing and sharing of emotions. To all the lost goodest boys, rest well. 🐶❤🩹
Same, right with you. Wounds I thought time had healed.
Our dachshund passed in oct 2021, and has taken us 2 years of emotions to finally get another. Dogs (and cats) are family and we need to be able to grieve as we feel. It’s taken us 2 years to feel like we were ready to get a new puppy. And man oh man, do we love this new puppy as only family can. His predecessor would approve.
We just lost ours 2 weeks ago. We're all still sad. Mostly when we come home. He used to start howling when we came home.
It doesn't EVER become easy. That pain and sorrow just becomes something you learn to live with. I can't believe I'm saying this bc I didn't think I could admire him any more than I already do, but Jon Stewart being so transparent and real and true blue with his love for his pup makes me love him THAT MUCH more. Pitties are the best, and dogs are truly man's best friend.
@@marygarrison9882 Sorry to hear. That silence when arriving home was one of the hardest parts to deal with early on. ❤
Thank you for sharing. As i lay here watching with tears in my eyes.
I found that one dog! She is a German shepherd named Thunder. She has cancer. She has days left.
My heart is with you. They fill our lives, days, and hearts with such love and happiness for such a short time. 💔😢
I'm so sorry for what you are going through. Prayers for you and your fur baby.
My family's shepherd-collie mix died of cancer when she was only six years old. I was only 16. She was an absolute joy, and the most obedient, smartest dog I've ever had in my life. I understand your pain. I'm so, so sorry for what you're going through. 😢
Man I never thought I'd see the day when I'd say Jon Stewart made me cry, but that he did. I know that feeling of losing your best dog-friend. Absolutely heart wrenching. RIP Dipper. ❤
Without a word, dogs show humans what true love is.
Yes. And if we humans would let them, all animals would do so, in their own way.
Thank you, Jon. I lost my best boy Roan on January 24th. I wasn't ready either. But we gave him the gift of a comfortable passing - he died in my arms. Thank you for showing your vulnerablity and also for advocating for rescuing. Big hugs your way.
@@jackp.3605good lord, what a cesspool of subscriptions
@@jackp.3605maybe they do troll. Troll the troll.
We lost out boy in October. We knew it was coming but it was still heartbreakiiing
Please accept my deepest condolences on the passing of your dear Roan 😭💔
My Milton passed away to cancer 3 years ago. I had him cremated and I have his ashes oh a shelf in my room. I look at him every single day. He was only 9 and was the most wonderful boy. I couldn’t have wished for a better dog. I miss him so much. Losing a pet is one of life’s miseries that I’ll never understand. I’m so sorry for your loss.
Oh my heart. I'm so sorry for your loss. We are about to go through it with our 17 year old Chihuahua that we've had since she was 11 weeks old. She is our soul dog just like Dipper was yours. My heart goes out to you and your family.
My bestest boy passed from cancer 4 years ago. He saved my life, but I couldn't save his. I have never, nor will I ever again experience a level of such unconditional love. My broken heart goes out to you John, and although we will never meet you have my deepest and most sincere sympathy.
You did save his life. I’m sure you gave him the best life and made his time amazing. We can’t control what happens in the end but we can appreciate and love them as much as we can, and you did that! ❤
You did save him. You gave him the best life he could have ever imagined. Give yourself that. Be gentle with yourself
You saved him. You did your best for your special guy and he knows that! Thank you for sharing
I'm so sorry for your loss John. I had to let my little girl Brooklyn go a year ago, she was almost 14. She had cancer and was also tired and ready. I've never missed something so much in my life as I do her, I still cry and the pain is devastating. I also found that one dog in her, I will forever miss her. You have my deepest sympathy and prayers😢🙏
You did save his, you gave him the best life possible and that's amazing
Jon Stewart, thank you for bravely sharing your tears and your deep love for Dipper. I know exactly the sorrow you're feeling. I'm dealing with making the 'big decision' as I write this, with my dear cat. I'm almost 60 and have been crying like a child, thinking about her going away. Sometimes that one, special animal soul comes into our lives and makes us human again.
I am so sorry. I know this pain. I just lost my dog and 10 years ago, I lost my cat of 17 years. I will never be the same. The profound love is unmatched. Be gentle with yourself.
they really get into our hearts, those little friends, it's not easy to lose them
You have my deepest sympathy. I just went through this with my best boy Mica, and I'm bawling all over again. He was an awesome buddy cat and my best friend, always on me or snuggled next to me, and very playful. I think he thought he was part dog. It's a horrible decision to make, but we make it out of love for them, for all the unconditional love they give us. ❤❤
I got two husky collie mixes when they were only a few months old, sisters, when I was 6.they lived to be 18 and 20. they were with me through almost every important moment of my life. I don't think anything can ever replace them and after a decade without them, I still cry for them. My condolences for Jon and everyone in the comments who's lost afamily member.
A wonderful testimony of love and friendship to Dipper. Jon is very touching.
Thank you for always just being so human. The world needs it.
The man is a real mensch 100%, yes our country and world need so desperately more like him.
I’ve rescued easily a thousand dogs but my last one was definitely my soul dog. Our time was so amazingly incredible but losing him was like having my heart ripped out. I love every dog I’ve ever been lucky enough to rescue but I know I’ll never have a connection like that with any other dog.
So so sorry for the loss of your precious furry family member. I truly feel your pain, we lost our beloved, ridiculously spoiled baby 7 months ago, she brought us tremendous joy in our lives. Rest assured that Dipper is happy and renewed in heaven. May he RIP. The emptiness in your heart will be awhile before you can feel better, but know that Dipper was blessed to have you and your family in his life.
This has helped me about 16 times during my life with the loss of a cat or dog: "We who choose to surround ourselves with lives even more fragile than our own live within a fragile circle, easily and often breached. Unable to accept its awful gaps, we still would live no other way. We cherish memory as the only certain immortality, never fully understanding the necessary plan"...Irving Townsend
I've rescued and lost so many cats from neighbors I have PTSD and have an anxiety attack just trying to go buy cat litter pine pellets. It helps a tiny bit but not enough; how vets and vet techs get through each day and week is beyond me, bless their souls.
Thanks for the beautiful words, fartblossom. ❤
that's honestly lovely, fartblossom.
Sending you and your family hugs for the loss of your fur child😢
I've had to put down a few pets and couldn't relate more to Jon's tears. It's so hard when you have to say goodbye but every moment was worth it. For all you do to provide for them, the love they give back is greater than everything.
I lost my cat on Saturday so I understand how you feel. He was my sweet little kitty. On Friday night I fed him tuna (his favorite snack), told him I loved him and before bed...I told him I loved him again and told him it was okay to go now. Saturday morning when I woke up, he was gone. I think he waited for me, he needed to hear those words. I miss him so much.
I'm so, so sorry for your loss. 💔
as a cat dad I am so sorry for your loss.
My condolences for you as a cat mom. Their energies never leave you.
so sorry for your loss. my cat passed at 16 and she was the best, it was the hardest pain ever. now i have 3 rescued cats and 1 rescued dog. I know it will hit hard but I try to make.it.count and have the best life
Sometimes, when an animal is extremely bonded to us, they come back to us.
So keep a look out. Maybe one day, a cat will come up to you with the same look in their eye as your kitty or the same mannerisms, and you'll know.
I knew I was going to be in tears the moment I saw the title of the video, I’m an old softy. I hope the memories of Dipper’s sweet disposition and kind face will be a balm to the sore hearts of Jon’s family as they grieve his passing.
We took our little man Diego on his last journey almost 2 weeks ago. He was suffering from right side congestive heart failure and his meds werent responding anymore. Honestly one of the hardest things we've ever experienced. He was our buddy, travel companion, mama's boy and really just the best dog. We thought we were prepared bc we knew his time was short but its so hard to let go. I still cry every single day and we still have his toys in the same spot in the living room and his blanket on the bed. Miss you little buddy DD. You brought us so much happiness and love in your 9 years with us.
Awww I am so sorry that you lost your beloved DD. You can never be prepared and every grief journey is its own
I am 72 years old and have had pets most of my life. The last twenty years I have worked in and around the animal industry including volunteering with Rescue Groups. The one unbreakable truth in my life is that pets are a reflection and collection of all our best and worse traits. A pet becomes a living Avatar of who we are and knows and shows the best and worst possibilities of our species. I have felt more grief from a lost pet than almost any other experience because they saw me as the person who I wanted be and not what I had let life turn me into. As much respect as I had for Mr. Stewart before this video, I cannot begin to measure how his sincere display of affection and loss touched me. This is of little or no consolation to you now, but don't morn your loss, appreciate the joy you gave and got from having him in his and your life.
That was beautiful! Thank you for sharing your wisdom!! 😇
I mourn the loss (after 3 yesrs) and am ever grateful that after I said I'd never get another dog because it hurts too much to lose them, I got a 4 month old choc lab that made the next 12 years my favorite.
I came in to leave a comment about love & loss, but after reading yours I have nothing to add. Thank you kind sir.
Well said.
Thank you for what you do ✌️❤️🇨🇦
I had a bad argument with my wife this morning. As I started watching, I also reflected on the passing of my dad. I haven't had a cry like that in some time. Thank you Jon because as you opened up and shared your grief, you allowed me to be there with you and shed mine. Here's to brighter days... In the words of Ringo Starr ✌️♥️
I hope you and your wife are able to reconcile and be better as a result, man ❤️
The loss of loved - two and four legged (& winged) REALLY can put our life and love in perspective. A F T E R, tears have washed our souls. My condolences to you and Hugs to both of you. You are very fortunate to have someone to hold.
It's strange...as we go through life, grieving becomes almost telescopic. Griefs we thought we had processed come back up for us, don't they?
I hope you and your wife have patched it up. I wish you peace.
❤
@tezozomoc, Thanks ... beautifully said. If I could, I'd schedule a monthly soul cleansing cry !
" shared your grief, you allowed me to be there with you and shed mine. Here's to brighter days..."
They say "a joy shared is doubled; a sorrow shared is halved."
That has never made intellectual sense to me, but it turns out that life has an "emotional logic'
I'm so sorry for your loss Mr. Stewart, we lost our cat of 8 yrs in 2021. Had no idea how hard it would effect our family. We did get another kitten a week later, some people can't understand it. But getting a kitten, who needed extra help was something we needed to do and we are all so happy we did. Our cats are family, not a pet, but a wonderful addiction to our family. R.I.P Dipper
The reason this man is such a class act. He doesn't act, he's himself and we love him for it. Thanks for sharing Jon and for taking care of Dipper, man's best friend indeed.
We just lost our 15 year old corgi, Gilly, about three weeks ago, so this one really hit hard for me. I've been quietly retreating to empty rooms to cry; I can barely comprehend the bravery of doing it in front of millions on TV. Thank you for sharing this, and I'm so sorry for you loss. RIP Dipper.
Yes RIP Dipper, Gilly, and all the loyal and loving family members lost. May they all find peace and rest in power.
We have a corgi boy who turns 7 this May. So sorry for your loss.
I thought it was a political projection on Anthony Blinken😅😢
Sending you so much love.
Heck, even when the cartoon dog Brian from Family Guy died it made me cry when that fact kicked in a bit later.
Man... that hits hard. I had my best boy for almost 16 years. Rescued from the dump. His last year was magical. Blind in both eyes, mostly deaf but man... that dog had the power to channel his unconditional love just like when he was a puppy. I was devastated when he died but I always smile when I think of him. Old and young.
@@jackp.3605 but, but... I found all those bikes and busses in the CAPTCHA tests 😞
Just lost my little old man a couple months ago, boy is it hard. That first week I couldn't so much as think about him without crying. Now that phase is over but it's still sad every time I get home and still expect him to be at the door waiting for me.
RIP Dipper, sounds like you were very much loved. ❤
Dude…. You just made a 54 y.o. man and father cry. Dogs keep us grounded in life. They love us unconditionally and they constantly remind us with what’s truly important in life. Soo sorry, John Stewart. Thanks for sharing, sir.
That special dog in my life for nearly 20 years was Nugget. He was a rescue Chihuahua, who absolutely stole my heart. If there is such a thing as a perfect dog, he was definitely it. He passed away almost 2 years ago, and my heart still aches for him. There is nothing like the bond that a person can have with a dog; it is nothing short of amazing. I hope one day to be able to have another dog once my heart has healed. Thank you Jon for showing that kind of emotion and I fully understand. May your sweet pup be running in heaven freely, smiling and thanking you for being so kind.❤
Awww, I had a rescue Chihuahua named Sasha that I lost 2 years ago. I don't think I will have another Chihuahua - that one stole my heart with his bold personality.
Thank you for sharing Dipper with us. You spoke for all of us pet lovers tonight. Thank you for having the courage to display your grief over the loss of a beloved family member - an emotion often belittled by people with no understanding of the love between a pet and its humans. Bless you, Jon and your family, for giving Dipper a beautiful life and allowing him to return your love unconditionally.
Perfectly said ❤
When people show you who they are....such genuine honesty, vulnerability that most would hide not express to all.
I wish that we all could be so courageous.
I know this is because of a sad story, but I am loving reading these comments. I recently saw on Reddit a TON of guys saying that their girlfriends and wives had left them after seeing them cry and it was heartbreaking. Genuinely heartbreaking.
I think everyone deserves to be able to cry and show their feelings and the fact that so many women were telling their SOs they weren't attracted to them any longer because they had a softer side....it made me sick.
These comments, especially seeing so many being made by guys, has made me feel slightly better about humanity.
Also, I know, it's Reddit. Take it with a grain of salt.
Those girlfriends and wives are horrible, heartless humans.
I look at my 16 year old mixed terrier who's both blind and deaf these days and cry. He's still with me and I'm grateful but I know, every single day I have with him is a blessing. He is my "everything" and I dread the day he crosses that rainbow bridge. My sincerest condolences to Jon, family and friends.
Thank you Jon for sharing. My wife and I lost our best boy last July. You put it into words. We are blessed as you to have had that experience of love and friendship. We will always miss our Sam. Our deepest sympathy, in your family's lost of Dipper.
Thank you for this-I just lost my 16 year old dog Neko before Christmas and I'm hysterical watching this. Not because I miss her (I do) but because I HAD THAT DOG THAT CHANGED MY LIFE. RIP Dipper.
So true, there is always one in your lifetime that is different to the others, you love em all but can't beat that soul connection 🥹🥹💓
that's the best dog name i ever heard
Sorry for your loss. Staty strong
Little did you know (or maybe you did), "Neko" means cat in Japanese. That makes it an even better name for a dog in my opinion 😊
a dog named "cat"? Excellent
Thank you for sharing your beautiful boy, Dipper with us all.
I lost both of my dogs last year two months apart. It still hurts like it was yesterday. When you have a dog that brings so much to your life you will never forget them. I was lucky that I got two of them. Can't wait to see them again some day on the other side of the Rainbow Bridge.
I've cried with you through so many things over the past 24 years. Losing a really loving pet is such a punch to the gut. People who havent experienced it sometimes go, "but it was just an animal, why are they THIS sad?
" because they have no idea yet.
They're like people who have never yet had their hearts broken.
I'm sorry, Jon.
I hope it's a lasting comfort that you gave him the best life.
“They’re like people who have never yet had their hearts heartbroken.” Perfectly said.
Dogs are the embodiment of unconditional love & their loss is as hard, if not harder, than the loss of a person…
Our Gram passed away today and I was trying to find comfort in a show about Israel/Palestine and then you had to go and do this... bawling on the floor in the kitchen. It's been 2.5 years since our shepherd/husky Sophie passed away. She was a rescue that was already 5yo when she came to live with us, and she brought such peace to everyone she met, whether they were friends visiting our house, family watching her over Christmas, or strangers on the sidewalk.
I now have our 14mo German Shepherd Maggie to come up to me sitting on the floor, tail wagging furiously, and lick the tears from my face. A moment of zen I sure needed today. Thanks for your vulnerability Jon.
I"m so sorry for your loss.
I am so sorry for your loss
So sorry for your loss
I had a Sophie. she was a black Labrador mutt. she was the best dog I’ve ever met. she died in 2008 and I still think about her all the time.
Thanks for your vulnerability too.
My heart goes out to Jon Stewart and his family. Hard, hard loss. That's the bone-crushing thing when you adopt a fur baby, you have to know that one day you'll have to do the hardest thing ever for them. Each time I've had to do that for a pet, a little bit of me went with them. Deepest condolences.
I want to wish every one on here who responded. Sorry for your loss .I have been there done that I have had animals all my life and it never gets any easier. Thankyou for caring for your animals. 😢
Nothing in this world like a dog. I used to suffer from severe depression and anxiety but then I got a dog in 2017. I believe he has helped me through my mental problems like no human ever could. I'm feeling much better now and I got him a friend in 2020. Their wellbeing is the most important thing to me and I couldn't imagine my life without them, though I know full well it will be inevitable. But until that time, I will try to give them the best life I can.
Wish you and your best buds years of happiness together. Dogs are truly a cure all! ❤
Agree and same. Best wishes on your metal health. ❤
Have you heard of Julian assange? He's a real journalist about to be offed by the US thanks to Hilary Clinton. You live in a fantasy land
I believe in mental health medication and treatments, but the love from my dog did more for my mental health than any professional or medication ever could.
@@darlinalexi1 so you believe in nothing, then. Big pharma rules us all?
Lost my dog this week. It is so heartbreaking. She was my first dog and was the most gentle, compassionate and loving friend a man could ever want. I'm sorry you lost your friend too.
So sorry for your loss.
I'm so sorry you lost your best friend. It's unfair that they don't live as long as we do. 💔
I’m sorry for your loss.
I'm so sorry. Lots of love from Ireland and my little dog Lulu. I'm so sorry. 💔💔💔
I still cry when I think about my dog. Lost her almost 8 years ago now. Feels like yesterday and an eternity at the same time.
I so love this man.
I adore dogs myself.
My 6 year old Chesapeake Bay Retriever/Standard Poodle Mix, Riff Raff, died on December 13th after a brief illness and hospitalization, and my Heart still hurts.
My 3 other dogs obviously miss him. He was a Comedian. He made me laugh every day.
We still don't have a Definitive Diagnosis of what killed him (other than Sepsis, but we don't know why/how).
Dogs are the BEST, and so is Jon Stewart.
I've watched this video several times, and every time I'm Verklempt.
Folks, give your Dogs the Love they so deserve.
Rest in Peace, Dipper.
Love You, Jon.
(Miss You, Riff Raff!)
💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜
I feel so deeply for him listening to this. My childhood dog died over ten years ago and I still can’t talk about him without crying. I get a lot of anticipatory grief when I think about my current dog, we’ve bonded so much over the years and there’s been so much life that happened over the last year it really feels like he’s been with me the entire time. You’re never ready.
I broke down for two years after I lost Max. Couldnt even think about him or have him mentioned. Then one day I made a small monument for him out back. Wrote his name on it and draped it with his favorite rope. Now I can smile even while I cry sometimes. He was my first dog. 16 year old lab
Please accept my deepest condolences on the passing of your dear dog 😭💔
Never ready, very true.
Oh my gosh you are never ready. I’ve never heard it described that way but so true. I held my Beckett in my arms and felt his heart stop beating long after he stopped breathing. Still not ready.
Anyone that doesn't understand grieving a beloved furbaby has never known the pure unconditional love of "that dog" and the joy they give us ❤. I'm 😭 ❤️🩹 now because I have. Thank you Jon for being so vulnerable, and I'm sorry for your loss.
I have been blessed with the best boy three times in my life. Each time it destroyed me. The last one is the only one that went before his time. He was only 6. He died during a seizure. His first and only seizure. That was 3 years ago and i still cry for him. I am blessed to still have his brother and i feel blessed every day to have my Barney. My dogs have always brought me so much joy and gave me such unconditional love. I wish all dogs received all the love and care they deserve.
Anyone who knows this loss also has known true love. For those who see pets as their family, they teach us the very wide range of our emotions, from greatest joy to hardest heartbreak. I have a few furbabies at home who will take a piece of my heart with them when they leave. Thank you, Jon, for sharing with us in your grief. May you, and all other pet owners, one day be reunited with them across the rainbow bridge ❤
We lost our dog Frasier on Jan. 21. Not only is the loss heartbreaking, but sometimes, unbidden, memories of his final day with us return, and we go through that again. I can appreciate the sincere and profound grief Jon Stewart showed in his TV spot about the loss of Dipper. To many of us today, losing a pet is losing a family member, full stop. Jon, I wish for you and your family some peace in this storm.
Frasier is a phenomenal name for a dog
My deepest condolences to you and yours. 💔
May beautiful Frasier rest in peace and power.
Came across an article and looked up this video. Saw ur comment. My dog of 16years passed away Jan21 as well.
Hey baby I hear the blues a-callin
Sending you so much love.
Yesterday the vet informed me that our wonderful cat of just 7 years has months to live. When I fell in love with my wife, I fell in love with cats and he was our first together.
I’m devastated and also grateful to have had these 7 short years with him.
My, they go by in a blink.
To watch this today, of all days, was a small gift. Thank you Jon.
In my house, when a pet is a senior, they get a birthday week. When I almost lose them or know time is short, every day from that point forward is their birthday.
I’m so sorry about your fur angel. I just lost my 17-year-old cat about two months ago and I am still heartbroken. You never get over it. So I tell myself that cats never die they just fall asleep in your heart. Until we meet them again at the rainbow bridge. 🐾 I’m so sorry for the pain you’re going through.💔
I'm so very sorry. 🙏 I had one of my baby boy cats die very suddenly at only about 2 years of age (he was a rescue). I can still cry in an instant over him. Honor your baby cat and give it the most wonderful love everyday! Your babies spirit will love on. ❤ 🙏🙏🙏
There are vets who make house calls so that pets can pass in the place they knew as home. It's more expensive than taking them to a regular vet office, but if you can afford it, it is so very much worth it. We used Lap of Love for three cats in rapid succession over about a year. Dr. Erica was wonderful in her patience, method, gentle nature, and the little details like the bed she placed our furry friends in their last moments and to gently carry to her car, and then the slow drive away as we watched. Their ashes were returned a few days later with a personal note from her. By the third one, she was almost in tears with us at having to go through so many, so fast.
@@JarrodFrateswe just dealt with losing our precious Betty cat ("Dew"), and the mobile vet that helped her onto the rainbow bridge was hella cheaper than an in-clinic/hospital visit. Also he was just a more caring doc 💝 most importantly *and most invaluably*, her siblings were provided with closure, instead of fear ('where did Dew go? Why didn't she come home when you left with her in that kennel??') which is something that many pets are denied! All love out to all of you fur baby parents, we are given the most precious gifts of their unconditional love and it always hurts when they go because our hearts and our lives are better for knowing them 💜
Dear Jon,
Sending you love and hugs. I’m right there with you. I lost both my cat and my dog last year and I’m still heavily grieving them. They were the best part of my day while I had them. Take all the time you need and thanks for being so genuine with us. ❤
I have never been ready. I know that I will see them all again and my heart will bursting. I miss them all.
You have no idea how animals are Godsend to this world. My cat throws tantrums, attacks my ankles, wakes me up, and steals my food. But at the same time, he lays on my lap when we watch a movie, he sits with me when I am working, he blinks his eyes when I blink at him, he cuddles with me, etc. He makes our world so joyful. I love you TJ. ❤
One of the only youtube videos I’ve ever immediately clicked on, knowing that I’d be crying almost immediately. I was raised in a home without pets and recently got my first dog… already, I think she’s perfect and my partner and I can’t imagine life without our puppy. I love this earnest display of emotion and how important animal welfare has always been to Jon Stewart and his family!
I thought it was a political projection on Anthony Blinken😅😢
@@omargaber3122Why?
When a pet is a true family member, the grief can be crushing. It also does not dull with each subsequent one. It actually gets harder. But, it is definitely worth the grief to have someone in your life who loves you unconditionally, who doesn’t judge you by shallow values such as appearance, career, social status, or wealth, but simply accepts you.
My sgt kopper lived for 16 years and 3 months..hardest loss 🐶🐾🦴he came to me in a dream a year later running and jumping up in the grass he was so free and happy
They give such unconditional love they are priceless ❤❤❤
My heart goes out to you. I know the pain of losing a fur baby. Dogs have such beautiful souls. Thank you for sharing and most of all thanks for loving OG Tipper. 😢
That one dog came into my life when I was 9. I’m 37 now and I miss him every. single. day. I love you buddy.
Our best boy died unexpectedly last August 17. He was only 8 1/2. He was all love. He made the most profound difference in our lives. My husband last had a dog while he was serving in Vietnam. Our boy brought healing and laughter to him. I was holding his head in my hands as our son drove us frantically to the closest emergency vet-I felt life leave him. We are still grieving his loss and always will. Our new boy is asleep on my chest right now. He’s just four months old. I’m not sure how we can already love him so much when we are still grieving s hard. Jon Stewart, I’m so very sorry for your loss. I understand.
From personal experience, the grief for one does not affect the love of another. Every dog I've had was different, and every one was the best dog I've ever had. And that's not a contradiction.
Our soul dog passed in September after a year long battle with cancer. We too, have a puppy now and feel as though a part of our soul boy is within him to get us through. The pain is immeasurable, so sorry for your loss.
I'm so sorry for your loss, but totally understand your grief combined with deep love for your new boy. We lost our golden retriever two days after his 14th birthday last year, and surprised ourselves by welcoming a rescue from Mexico a couple of months later. But we quickly realized that a broken heart doesn't lose the capacity to love. ❤🩹
Jon is one of my top 5 favorite entertainers but after watching this he just became the #1.
I'm so sorry for your loss, Jon. Dipper was so lucky to have such a loving family. Thank you for bringing awareness to rescues, and thank you for being a hero. May Dippper's memories always live in your hearts to bring you comfort.
A home is so quiet after this kind of loss. So many years have passed and I still cry but am so grateful that I had the privilege of loving my soul dog. He saved me in so many ways. It was a deep genuine love and I feel sorry for those who haven’t experienced that kind of life changing connection.
He could not have ended up with a better family. Sounds like you guys gave him a great life after a terrible tragedy, and we can never be grateful enough for all the love and happiness our pets repay us with. In Civilization 6, when you research animal husbandry, there's a quote that makes me tear up every single time: "If dogs don't go to heaven, I want to go where they went." Soon the grief will pass, and turn into something much kinder: all the happy memories you have of the bestest boy. Lots of love Jon, for Dipper, and for all the bestest boys and girls we ever lost, wherever they may be.
The most genuine segment I've ever seen on film!! What a great way to talk Dad into getting a new pup! Love the feels on this one. The best boy!
We just lost our Bentley in January. For 14 years he brightened our day. I still expect him to come and knock on (more like slam in to) the door. We miss you buddy boy.
I haven't cried this much since my mother passed away 1/30/24. Glad to see a host open up about what we all have to eventually deal with in some form or another being a family member... pet or no pet... still family 💔
Sorry about your mother. Hope you are doing alright.
I’m a 41-year-old dump truck driver. Sitting here in Fullerton California at 7 o’clock in the morning waiting for the job to start. Sitting in my truck and crying. I can relate, my sympathy goes out to him and his family. We as humans don’t deserve dogs. They don’t live long enough, and their love, devotion and loyalty is unmatched.
