It's never easy to say goodbye to a furry friend, especially one who's been by your side through thick and thin. And for ESPN's Kirk Herbstreit, that goodbye was especially tough. Ben, his beloved service dog, recently passed away, leaving a void in Herbstreit's life that will be hard to fill.

Ben wasn't just a pet; he was a loyal companion and a true friend. He was trained to help Herbstreit manage his Type 1 diabetes, providing him with invaluable support and independence. Herbstreit shared a heartfelt tribute to Ben on social media, detailing the impact the dog had on his life.

"Ben, you were more than a service dog, you were my best friend. You helped me in ways you'll never know, you were always there for me, through the good times and the bad. You never judged, you were always happy to see me, and you always knew when I needed a little extra love. I will miss you more than words can say," Herbstreit wrote in his tribute.

The outpouring of support from fans and fellow ESPN personalities was immediate and overwhelming. People shared their own stories of service dogs and the incredible bonds they share with their owners. Many expressed their condolences to Herbstreit, acknowledging the immense loss he must be feeling.

Ben's legacy will live on through the impact he had on Herbstreit's life and the inspiration he provided to others. His story serves as a powerful reminder of the incredible bond between humans and animals, and the unwavering loyalty service dogs offer. Though Ben may be gone, the memories of his love and companionship will remain in Herbstreit's heart forever.
