The Malone family is a firm favourite of Gogglebox viewers around the UK. They are not only hilarious but also endearing, especially as they are often seen with their adorable Rottweilers, Dave and Tilly.
A sad, sad day
Sadly, the Malone family took to Instagram today to announce Dave’s passing. The senior dog lived a long and happy life, especially for a Rottweiler. Indeed, Rottweilers are prone to a variety of health problems that affect their lifespan, including cancer as well as joint and bone issues. Typically, the breed only lives 8 to 10 years.
Julie, the matriarch of the Malone family, wrote a beautiful tribute to her beloved dog:
Love from all the fans
The post racked up over 10,000 likes in just 10 minutes, with Gogglebox fans sharing their grief and shock at the news:
"So sorry to hear this, he made me laugh so many times on Gogglebox, RIP Dave you knobhead ❤️ thanks for the lols!", said one viewer.
"Sending you all so much love😣 he was such a beauty and a true entertainer❤️❤️❤️", wrote another.
No matter how much time we spend with our dogs, it’s never really enough. RIP, Dave.
