Paul O’Grady cries during Buster memorial show
Paul O’Grady lost his beloved dog Buster last week. The fourteen year old dog was put to sleep after battling cancer for many months.
On Paul’s Channel 4 chat show last night, he broke down in tears as he introduced a montage of clips of Buster’s TV career. He said: “Wherever you are kid, you are gone but not forgotten!”

Dear Paul, I was so very sad to hear that Buster had died and shall miss seeing him on your wonderful show so very much. I know how you feel, having lost my darling little Yorkie, Rosie, 18 months ago. I thought the tribute was so lovely but it did make me cry all the way through. I send you love and hugs and hope it comforts you to know how much all your fans loved your beloved little friend. Buster is now cuddled up with Brendan and they will both be watching over you and comforting eachother.
