Famed Dog Ben Passes: A Sad Loss for Herbstreit
You know that feeling when you see a celebrity's dog on TV and you're like, "I love that dog!"? Yeah, that's how a lot of folks felt about Ben, the beloved golden retriever of ESPN college football analyst Kirk Herbstreit. Ben was more than just a pet, he was a furry member of the Herbstreit family, and honestly, kind of a national treasure.
Sadly, Ben recently passed away, leaving behind a huge void in the lives of the Herbstreits and countless fans who'd grown to adore him. It's been a real bummer, man. Ben was a regular on Herbstreit's social media, often appearing in adorable videos and photos. He even had his own Twitter account, which had over 40,000 followers! It's safe to say, Ben had a fan base of his own, and he was loved by many.
Ben's Legacy: More Than Just a Dog
Ben wasn't just a pretty face, though. He was an active pup who loved to go on hikes and play fetch. And let's not forget his love for snacking, which he often shared with Herbstreit on camera. He was always there to brighten up the day, offering a wagging tail and a big smile (well, as much of a smile as a dog can give).
Even though he's gone, Ben's legacy will live on. His spirit will continue to be a reminder of the simple joys of having a loyal furry friend. He'll be missed by the whole crew, and by fans like me who were lucky enough to have him brighten up their day.
What's Next for the Herbstreits?
Herbstreit has been vocal about his love for Ben, often sharing stories about his antics on social media. It's clear that Ben was more than just a pet, he was a member of the family. So, it's understandable that the Herbstreits are grieving his loss.
We know they'll have each other and their memories of Ben to get through this tough time. But we'll also be thinking of them, and hoping that their hearts heal with time.
Rest in peace, Ben. You'll always be remembered.
