Dog Eat Doug by Brian Anderson for January 07, 2022

We love our dogs so much and it is devastating when we lose them.

See you in the funny papers, Sophie.

The recent loss of Buster at “Bob the Squirrel” is more timely.

Since there is no indication there will ever be new “DeD” strips on GoComics, this is a good time for me to drop it and find something new. Recommendations are welcome.

Sophie, you are still remembered and loved.

91 dog years old. A long and no doubt, happy life.

Oh noooooooo

So sorry for your loss. :(

Sophie left pawprints on a lot of hearts, and she still is. Miss you sweet pup!

Tears. Wet fur. Whimpers.

NO!

8-((

I am so terribly sorry for your loss.

When I fostered my foster boy, I had to give him up to an adoptive home (I was just the foster mum) and the second I did, I realized that it was the biggest mistake of my life. We needed to be together, we just did. Iwas devastated.

Ten months later, after praying every day to get him back, she relinquished him, due to issues that apparently only I could handle, and I never let him go again. We are inseparable.

During our time apart, when I was oh so sad and depressed, Dog Eat Doug got me through somehow, because my Foster boy looks ever so much like your Sophie. Sophie helped me through his absence (in my life, never in my heart) and now Foster and I will be here to support all of you here, with the loss of our beloved Sophie.

With the tears from Dog Eats Doug readers, we will fill up the ocean until it overflows Xoxo

It is so hard to lose them

When we last moved we had 5 cats and a St Bernard, we said no more pets until we lose at least 2

We waited until we were down to 3 cats, losing the last one was really hard on us

Now we have 4 again, Buddy joined us about 6 months ago

Always hurts!!! Been thru 11 cats & 2 of the bestest-ever dorglums to walk the face of the earth!!! Benjamin & Jean-Luc.

I’ll see you at the Rainbow Bridge, Sophie.

Thank you for sharing Sophie’s memory with us each day.

Condolences. Sophie was a wonderful inspiration as well as part of your family. Thank you for letting her be part of our family as well.

Hard when they leave us they bring so much to our lives!

Oh so sad. Our furkids are part of the family. I see Sophie crossed the Rainbow Bridge in 2016 but we get to remember her every day in the comics.

My love to you and family, including Sophie. May she live on in your comic, take a rebirth with you again in a new aspect

…tears.

But happy memories last forever,RIP

RIP with many memories thanks

This breaks my heart. I have a black lab named Sophie who is 13 and has the same graying muzzle. I treasure each day she is still with me.

Brian, I am so sorry. Sophie will live forever in your daily adventures.

My condolences. I’ve loved this strip for a long time. Lost my best friend Kiah two years ago and it still makes me cry. But I adopted a monster dog named Lucy who could give Sophie a run for her money.

Saddest strip ever, but so poignant.

Very sorry for your loss. l know it is just a platitude but remember all the good times.

Sad! I lost my beloved Labrador, Buddy, in 2017. I know I’ll see him again. But life goes on – I have a new furry pal. Mr. Anderson: Is this an anniversary of the real Sophie’s passing?

My most sincere condolences.

Aww! I wonder if they got Doug a new dog. I hope so. But at least this way Sophie is a puppy forever.

Sophie, look for a fella named Jake and his cousin Moxie. They may be among your greeters at the bridge.

So sorry for your loss

It always hurts. We’ve loved twenty cats during our marriage, and we miss every single one we’ve lost. Our sincere condolences, Brian.

You have my sincere condolences. Losing an animal companion is so painful.

Google “The Rainbow Bridge Poem”.

Deepest condolences, Brian! Thank you so much for sharing her and letting us bask in her bright spirit too.

So very sorry. Know how much it hurts.

Aww… I knew this was a strip about a real boy & his dog… Sorry Sophie passed but her spirit lives on every day in your comic… A beautiful & everlasting tribute to a cherished member of “our” family! <3

I had forgotten this one…. my heart hurts again.

We are very sorry.

So many in 70 years of life they always seemed to know what you needed during their time on earth.

Condolences on your loss.

I’m so sorry. <3

I am sorry for your loss.

Dog Eat Doug seems to have been on reruns since March of 2021, does anyone know why?

So dreadfully sorry for your loss of a beloved family member.

They leave our homes, but never our hearts.

You’ve all said what’s in my heart! I miss ALL my past Furbies! Darn it…I’m leaking…<3

Well, Sophie is waiting patiently on the other side of the Rainbow bridge.

God’s Blessings upon her and her family, who I am sure still miss her terribly, especially Doug, I’ll wager..

it’s so sad when a great dog dies, worse than humans.

My “Georgie” taught my toddler so many things…. how to bark, how to pee on my clothes tree pole, how to carry a stick in his mouth, how to eat on the floor without using his hands…………

So sorry for your loss.

i know it is for the best, i appreciate that we are able to end their pain. it still stings. 8 cats, 3 dogs, 1 cockatiel.

I know it is past 2016, but I will still wish Sophie (and all others that have gone since, to include my Sadie) safe journey to the Rainbow Bridge. We shall meet them on the other side. <3

so sorry for the loss of Sophie. her antics have definitely provided daily giggles!

So very sorry for your loss. May her memories comfort you until you see her again -

Oh no ! Sending you all the hugs!

Sophie will live on in your heart and the memories you share in your strip.

always a heartbreak!

psschearer here’s your hat, close the door on your way out, okay?

This gives new depth to the strip for me. I did not know it was based on the antics of a best friend. My condolences, been there too many times in 70 years. I’m gonna get knocked on my butt when they all greet me at the rainbow bridge…LOL.

I lost my chocolate lab almost a year ago. He was 15 and the best dog ever. It is never easy to lose a dear furry friend. I see a lot of him in Sophie. Thank you.

{{hugs}}

I am so sorry for your loss. My wife and I had a little shin Tzu Sophia Maria,that we lost to cancer a week before Christmas.

So long, Sophie! Look! A Squirrel…!
