Pete Davidson has sadly announced the death of his beloved dog, who passed away at just two years old.
The 29-year-old comedian took to social media to share the devastating news that his two-year-old pup named Henry died unexpectedly.
Davidson and his family had welcomed Henry at the start of the Covid-19 lockdown. He emotionally stated that he's "not sure I’d even be around" without his furry buddy.
While the former Saturday Night Live star does not have social media, he shared the post on the Instagram page of his friend Dave Sirus - a writer on his new Peacock show Bupkis.

"Yesterday we lost a key member of the Davidson family," the heartbreaking message read. "Henry was only 2 years old but unfortunately got very sick very fast.
"My mom, sister, and I got Henry at the beginning of the pandemic and he saved our lives. Not sure id even be around without him," he continued.
Davidson recalled his precious bond with Henry and described him as "the was the happiest and sweetest dog ever," explaining: "He used to get excited when he saw me and would pee everywhere."
"When I was working at SNL my mom would send me videos of him watching, smiling, and making noise when I came on screen," he added.
The comic revealed to readers that he still doesn’t like to watch his projects with anyone because he is "far too scared," but said, "I didn’t mind watching with Henry".
"He was truly the best," he went on. "My mom, sister, and I are broken and will miss him forever. We love you, Henry. Thank you for making our lives fuller and reminding me what actually matters."

Another person said: "Oh Pete, we love you so much, sweetheart. I'm so sorry you're hurting in this way. We lost our dear Bravo this year and it was devastating. Our hearts are with you, son."
A third shared: "I’m so sorry. We had a Bichonpoo that saved us during COVID in sort of the same fashion. I feel for you and I’m so very devastated for you."
Davidson previously spoke about his dear puppies on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon In November 2021. He told the host: "I got three dogs during the pandemic because it was hard."
The star's heartbreaking statement comes days after his return to SNL was canceled due to the Writer's Guild of America strike. He was set to make his hosting debut while rapper Lil Uzi Vert was scheduled as the musical guest.
