A paw-fect companion until the end. Pete Davidson is mourning the death of his family’s beloved pet.
“Hey, guys. I know today is the Bupkis premiere day but I wanna use today to remember my dog Henry. Yesterday we lost a key member of the Davidson family,” the Saturday Night Live alum, 29, wrote in an emotional Instagram note, shared via friend and Bupkis writer Dave Sirius’ account on Thursday, May 4. “Henry was only 2 years old but unfortunately got very sick very fast. My mom, sister and I got Henry at the beginning of the pandemic and he saved our lives. Not sure I’d even be around without him.”
He added: “He was the happiest and sweetest dog ever. He used to get excited when he saw me and would pee everywhere. When I was working at SNL, my mom would send me videos of him watching, smiling and making noise when I came on screen. I don’t ever really watch any of my stuff with anyone as I’m far too scared but I didn’t mind watching with Henry. He was truly the best.”
The comedian — who exited Saturday Night Live at the end of season 47 last year — had long lived at home in Staten Island, New York, with mother Amy Davidson and sister Casey Davidson. Pete, who has frequently been candid about his various mental health struggles, eventually moved out of his mom’s basement in April 2021, but remained close with his mom and sibling.
“My mom, sister and I are broken and will miss him forever. We love you Henry,” the Meet Cute star concluded his social media tribute to the puppy, sharing a handful of sweet pics with the pooch. “Thank you for making our lives fuller and reminding me what actually matters.”
