Comedian Sarah Silverman Writes Heartfelt Obituary For Her Dog

Last week, comedian Sarah Silverman wrote the most touching obituary for her beloved rescue dog “Duck” who passed away last week. Sarah and Duck spent 14 wonderful years together. 

Here’s an excerpt from Duck’s obituary in which Sarah describes her last moments with him: 

“I told him how loved he was, and thanked him for giving me such happiness and for his unwavering companionship and love. The doctor gave him a shot and he fell asleep, and then another that was basically an overdose of sleeping meds. I held him and kissed him and whispered to him well passed his passing. I picked him up and his body was limp- you don’t think about the head- it just falls. I held him so tight. And then finally, when his body lost its heat, and I could sense the doctor thinking about the imminent rush hour traffic, I handed him over. 14 years. 

My longest relationship. 

My only experience of maternal love. 

My constant companion. 

My best friend.

Duck."
