Sara Carson, originally from North Bay, announced this week the passing of her pup, Hero, who became something of a celebrity.
“You think you can prepare yourself for the day you have to say goodbye … the truth is that you can’t,” Carson posted on her Facebook page.
Hero and Carson first gained fame in 2012 when they appeared on a Stupid Pet Tricks segment on David Letterman.
“Hero had Letterman in stitches by barking into a soap-soaked wand to produce bubbles,” CTV reported at the time.
“Carson, a 20-year-old stunt dog trainer, says she taught the trick to Hero and emailed videotaped footage of it to Letterman's producers. Six months later they responded.”
Carson appeared on the show with then three-year-old black and white pooch, who came from a farm in Peterborough, Ont.
