Frasier's dog Eddie dies aged 16

This is very sad news. Eddie, the loveable dog from the TV show Frasier, has died of old age.

Okay, so I may not admit it much, but I was, and remain, something of a closet Frasier fan. Eddie often made the show.

I can think of no more fitting epitaph than this:

There is no psychiatrist in the world like a puppy licking your face.

Frasier's dog Eddie dies aged 16:

"Moose the dog, better known as Eddie in US sitcom Frasier, has died aged 16 in Los Angeles, his trainer has said.

The Jack Russell terrier passed away of old age last week at trainer Mathilde Halberg's home, she told People magazine and the Access Hollywood show.

'He just had an incredible charisma and was a such a free spirit,' Ms Halberg said of Moose, who appeared in 192 Frasier episodes from 1993.

Moose shared the part of Eddie with his son, Enzo.

He made his first appearance on the long-running Cheers spin-off in the first episode on 16 September 1993, retiring 10 years later in 2003. The show finished in 2004."
