Michael J. Fox is mourning the loss of his beloved dog, Gus, a Great Dane-Labrador mix who passed away at 12. Gus was a loyal companion, supporting Fox through his Parkinson’s disease and recovery from 2018 spinal surgery. In a touching post to his million followers, Fox shared, “Gus — great dog and loyal friend, we’ll miss you,” alongside a photo and reference to his memoir. Fox credits Gus with easing his isolation and aiding his recovery, saying, “I didn’t rescue Gus. You can argue that he rescued me.” Our sympathies go out to Fox for this heartfelt loss.
