The latest post features Jon’s deep remembrance of his best boy, Dipper. Comedian Jon broke out with tears, thinking back on his connection with his pet by mentioning “He used to come to the Daily Show every day. He was part of the O.G. Daily Show dog crew.

We’d come and tape the show and Dipper would wait for me to be done.” Jon’s story made Lindsey recall her dearest boy Bear’s loss.
