ESPN broadcaster Kirk Herbstreit announced Thursday that his dog, Ben, whom NFL and college football fans alike have become familiar with during various appearances, died at the age of 10.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

“This is really hard to write but so many of you have loved and cared about Ben that I wanted to let you know,” Herbstreit wrote. “We found out today the cancer had spread throughout Ben’s organs and there was nothing left we could do-we had to let him go. I’ve had dogs my whole life but Ben was 1 on 1. He was smart-loving-gentle-patient-inquisitive-and welcoming to all.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

“Always a big smile and a soft tail wag. He and I could communicate..he and I understood each other and had each other’s backs. He was with me more than anyone at home and traveling with me for work. Such an easy going companion. Hard day-but he will live within all of us forever. God please bless his majestic soul and thank you for putting him in my life for the last 10 years-a true blessing.<\/p>\n

\n

“Love you Ben.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
