Michael J. Fox's "Wonder Dog" Passes Away After 12 Years Of Love & Support. [View all]

Our dogs will stay by our sides no matter what. They might not live to see the end of our battles in life, but they will support us for as long as they can. Actor Michael J. Fox’s dog Gus was one of the most supportive canines you’d ever meet. He was there as the Back to the Future star battled Parkinson’s disease and all of life’s difficult and beautiful moments.

Recently, Fox had to say goodbye to Gus. He always described the pooch as a “wonder dog” and a constant source of support. Now, he has to keep fighting without his best friend.

A Star’s Special Dog

Fox claims that he didn’t rescue Gus because the pup rescued him instead. The Great Dane mix was 12-years-old when he passed, so he got many great years with his loving dad. He could always tell when Fox wasn’t feeling his best, so he’d comfort him in every way possible. Parkinson’s disease can make things like walking and talking harder, so Fox is grateful that Gus could always help him when he needed it.

“You know that no matter your situation, no matter what you feel, this animal is with you and is connected to you, and you feel, it’s a force multiplier,” Fox said.
