It can be really sad when your pet dies. They're part of the family and it can be hard to accept that they won't be around any more.

�鶹������ҳ��� Sport presenter, Gary Lineker, recently posted on social media, saying that he will 'greatly miss' his pet dog Snoop, who has died.

Lineker said he was "profoundly saddened" to tell his followers that his "beloved dog" had passed away.

He added: "He was my friend, my companion, my boy. Whether I left the house for 2 weeks, 2 days or 2 minutes he would greet me with equal measure of enthusiasm and love. I'll miss him greatly."

Snoop was a Golden Labrador and Lineker's former partner, Danielle, once talked to a pet magazine about how much she and Gary loved their dog.

Danielle said that Snoop is "always around for a cuddle" and that his favourite thing is "playing with the football".

In September 2018 Lineker posted a photo of his pup on Instagram with the caption "He's 10 years old today is Snoop, but still a pup at heart".
