The Moment This Sportscaster Delivered A Heartfelt Tribute To His Dog On Air Will Make You Emotional
Many of us know that dogs help humans develop a sense of responsibility, show us unconditional love, and are always there when we need them. Dogs are high-maintenance but bring various health benefits to humans.
However, it is incredibly difficult to cope with the death of a beloved dog. We tend to miss them at every opportunity, and for this man who lost his dog, his tribute was truly touching.
ESPN sports journalist Scott Van Pelt deviated from the normal schedule of his show to disclose a serious matter that made him emotional: the precious life, days, and moments shared with his special dog, Otis, whom he and his family adored.
The beloved dog crossed the rainbow bridge not long ago. Therefore, Van Pelt chose to dedicate a very special and emotional segment in remembrance of him.
He wanted to let the entire world know how wonderful the dog was and how important Otis was to him and his family. During the show, the sports journalist spoke about how the dog would often greet him when he returned home from work.
He expressed the joy it brought him to see the dog wagging his tail whenever they were together. Now that Otis has gone to the "land of no return," he will miss most of his cheerful and loving presence.

"After the show tonight, I’d rather drive all the way from D.C. to the Pacific Ocean than take a short ride home, where I’m going to sit in the dark waiting for my Otie boy," Van Pelt said. Even though the heartwarming tribute was in honor of the dog, what the sports journalist expressed was, in fact, true, and anyone who has a dog would relate to his story.
Van Pelt stated, "Nothing we do could earn what our dogs give away to us for free," and perhaps none of those tales could be truer than his words.

Dogs are known to give unconditional love to their owners as time passes.
They can also alleviate your emotional stress most of the time. Most importantly, dogs reduce anxiety, depression, and loneliness while also encouraging exercise and playfulness.
The dog may have passed away, but due to the inspirational words of tribute that Van Pelt shared with the world, Otis's spirit will live on in the hearts of many people, not just his family.

Dogs are generally good for the heart because they encourage you in times of crisis. They help you move even when you're tired, and they also act as protectors of their owners against attacks.
We hope that Van Pelt, as well as everyone else who has lost their cherished furry friends, finds the comfort they need.
