Beardo by Dan Dougherty for February 21, 2020

Oh man, that’s heartbreaking. Those dogs are part of our lives too, thanks to your art and love. Condolences to you and your family.

Also saw this on your Facebook page Dan. Once again I’ll say how much it sucks to lose a beloved pet. Condolences to you and your loved ones.

Its a hurt like no other cause their love is so unique. Hugs from NH

So sorry to hear of your loss. They are family.

Sorry for your loss. Have a couple fur babies myself. Having lost one a couple years back. I understand.

They were my favorite characters. Loved when they almost made $40k for you and Megan

Know how you feel, love my dogs and hurt when they leave. Hang in there.

Sorry about your loss

Oh no! I am so sorry to hear about Penny! I still cherish the picture you drew of my dog, and the way you drew your dogs was one of the things I’ve always loved most about your strip. Thank you for sharing her life with us.

Sorry to hear that. Even though I have two cats, I grew up with dogs. I know how it feels to lose a pet. Many years ago when I was a teenager, I saw our family dog die right in front of me. But she was old. And in the early 2000 decade, A friend of mine had a dog I was taking care of died right in front of my eyes. But he was 16. It’s no shame to admit that animals become a centerpiece in our lives. Trust me Dan, I definitely feel your loss!

So sorry for your loss. We’ll look forward to seeing the pups in the coming weeks.

So very sorry. Penny was such a favorite here for so long.

Awww. Good way to commemorate 14 years of unconditional love and unquestioning companionship. Love the ones with the pooches in them, looking forward to them.

What a great way to honor your love for her. Thank you

So sorry about your loss — looking forward to the celebration of her life here!

My condolences on your loss; they become such a huge part of our families’ lives.

I am sorry for your loss. What a wonderful way to pay tribute to a faithful friend and family member.

Sorry to hear about your loss. Our dogs are family to us too.

Dan, my condolences on the loss of your sweet Penny Lane.

Oh Dan, I am so very sorry for your loss. That is the hardest part of having fur babies. My heart is with you and your family.

So sorry to hear of your loss of Penny Lane. It hurts like the devil every time one of our fur babies passes, but they add so much to our lives we’d be the worse without them. I live in hope of meeting my fur babies in the Dreaming when this life is done. We’ll go flying together. (Yes, they and we can have wings there, whenever we want. Considering I’m 67, I’m going to have my own furry flock.)

So sorry for your loss. Our fur babies leave paw prints on our hearts.

Sorry to hear Penny is gone. I always loved the strips with dog antics.

Awww… I love the Penny comics, I’m sad the real doggo is gone. My heart goes out to you.

So sorry about loss of your Penny. I lost Shadowfax (in my bio pic) back in 2001. He was a great Great Dane.

My combat vet friend lost his service dog to old age. It was like a family member passed. After grieving he got a new service dog through the VA. And …. it’s good to see him happy again. Sorry about your loss.

I am so sorry. Losing a pet is so hard. Pork chop, the wiener dog is my latest addition. Etta James, the beagle loves him!

Ouch. Been there, and it sucks. Sympathy, Dan

So sad. Dogs are have been a part of my life since a child. Our current pups are now 13 1/2 and 10. I’m 62, I don’t know if there will be anymore in my future after they are gone.

I’m sorry you lost your dear Penny Lane. She loved you, and was loved and cared for to the end.
