2. Sad…

3. Am more upset by this news than of the Queen passing away. A wonderful, sweet dog – sadly missed.

4. I ask F in the comments to salute.

5. 🙁

6. Old age of 10, he was a beautiful Bernese who lived a long loved and full life

7. Thanks for all the love and laughs and happiness, good boy.

   10 is not young for a Bernese, though. Actually at the upper end of their life expectancy. (Edit: even beyond it, I’m finding numbers of 6-8 and 7-9 years)
   It’s as old as you can expect a purebred dog of that size to get.

8. You shall not be forgotten, dog!

9. We’ll miss you, Bród.

10. 10 years is a ripe old age for a breed this size. Nevertheless rip goodboi

11. I missed the word dog, and got very confused with “at the age of 10” when reading this.

    Rest in peace. All dogs should end up in heaven.

12. Why did the information that the irish president had a dog that hanged out with him all the time even existed in my brain?

13. No Bernese I have encountered has lasted very long. Poor guy

14. Good boy 🙁

15. Oh no, Bród! An icon, the pride of the nation.

16. First Craig Breen, now Bród… though times for Ireland. 💚🤍🧡

17. Isn’t this after the Biden meeting where he was aggressive towards Biden? That was 1 week ago.,

18. Someone has to say it. Irish president is Bilbo fucking Baggins?!

19. RIP

20. 10 isnt young for the dog breed.

    Regardless rest in peace

21. First Síoda, now Bród, who’s next?

22. Goodbye Bród we will miss you

23. RIP goodboi
