Paul O’Grady has revealed that his beloved dog has died.
The presenter is a known lover of animals and even hosts his own show about man’s best friend called Paul O’Grady: For the Love of Dogs.
The 63-year-old announced that one of his ten dogs, Bullseye, suffered an epileptic fit and died last week.
“Now I will tell you my lousy news, You know that I did have an epileptic dog called Bullseye. I’ve got two dogs that both have epilepsy and I’ve managed it with medication,” he said on BBC Radio 2.
“However on Monday night he had a massive seizure – like a really bad one that he didn’t come out of – and on the way to the vets at two o’clock in the morning he died in the car.”
“I can’t tell you, poor old Bullseye. He was such a lovely dog, he had a thing about doorways, you had to coax him through them and he wouldn’t go upstairs. It was part of his condition I think, he was a sweet little dog and sadly missed,” he continued.
Paul then revealed that he returned home from the vets to find out that one of his other canines ate chocolate and had to be rushed to the same emergency vet who Bullseye was brought to just hours beforehand.
“I get home from the vets and one of my other dogs had found a bar of chocolate that was 80% cocoa, that had been left out stupidly – not by me, I don’t like chocolate – on the coffee table.”
“So we had to go back, it was the same emergency vet, for her to get her stomach pumped and we got her back two days later looking worse for wear because she was covered in charcoal – because you know they give them charcoal at the vets.”
The presenter finished by saying that he didn’t want to take on anymore animals after the tragic loss of Bullseye.
