The absolute worst part of pet ownership is saying goodbye. Sorry for the loss John and anyone else grieving.

[mcbatface]

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.

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.

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.

So rare to say this: but this is the one YouTube 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).

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.

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.

[Tesoro]

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. ❤

[LisaHutchins-zuyy]

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.

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.

Pets are family. Period. It hurts just as much. We are grieving with you Mr. Stewart

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.

[janet]

Lost my 22 year old cat 6 years ago, and still feel the loss. She was there when I married, had a child, got divorced, new jobs, new homes and the death of my father. She held my history. Absolutely one of the true loves of my life.

[satyamohlan]

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 ❤

[joshuamoore]

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.

[chloe]

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. ❤

[Leos-Bones]

i’m almost 29 years old, and i’ve been lucky enough to spend more than half of them with my best girl. she’s really old, and sick, now and her day is coming soon. this video made me cry really hard in my office today. i’m so sorry for your loss.

[Voicecolors]

I lost my cat last year. She was 16. No matter how old they are, we are never ready. Jon summed up perfectly: "he was ready, he was tired, i wasn't". Thank you. Jon

[romanf]

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.

[Chatta-Ortega]

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.
