Dog Gone

 

This month's Dog's Day Award goes to  Wellard a Belgian Tervuren and EastEnders character for the last 14 years. Wellard died on 15 August, 2008.

 

On the 26th of June 2008 it was revealed that Wellard an EastEnders. character for 14 years would be killed off before the end of 2008. The reason being that the dog who plays Wellard- all 3 dogs who have played him over the years, Zenna, daughter Chancer and her daugher Kyte, were females - is getting too old for acting.

On the 15th August 2008 Wellard was "put to sleep" (euthanised) at home, with Bianca Jackson and her family weeping as he died. A veterinary surgeon and nurse administered the lethal dose in response to his suffering from an undescribed terminal illness.

Anyone who has experienced having their dog euthanised will be familiar with the reaction of Wellard's tv family, the Jacksons. In fact anyone who has experienced the death of a loved pet dog will empathise with the Jackson family. R.I.P. Wellard
