The popular TV presenter shared the heartbreaking news during an emotional episode of Live with Kelly and Mark on Wednesday. Mark opened the show and said that their beloved dog, Chewie, had passed away at 17.
He shared that Chewie’s health had deteriorated rapidly — she had stopped eating and was severely dehydrated. As soon as Kelly heard the words, she couldn’t hold back her tears.
She tried to stay composed, but the emotions were simply too overwhelming.
