Jon Stewart paid tribute to his beloved three-legged dog, Dipper, who passed away.
Stewart recalled adopting Dipper from an animal shelter with his children years ago and described Dipper as the best dog.
“He was ready. He was tired,” Stewart said. “But I wasn’t.”
“They put the dog in my lap, and we left that day feeling really good. We’d helped this great organization, and we also left with this is one-ish-year-old pitbull,” Stewart said.
“We called him Dipper. And in a world of good boys, he was the best,” he added. “He used to come to ‘The Daily Show’ every day … We’d come and tape the show, and Dipper would wait for me to be done.”
Dipper used to accompany Stewart to ‘The Daily Show’ and even met famous personalities.
The tribute included a video of Dipper playfully frolicking in the snow and a humorous anecdote involving Malala Yousafzai.
“He met actors and authors and presidents and kings. And he did what the Taliban could not do, which is put a scare into Malala Yousafzai.”
