pie-eater 207 Posted December 30, 2011 Share Posted December 30, 2011 Bye-bai Daisuke-kun 旅犬！ Daisuke-kun, one of Japan's most popular pet celebrities, has died, the two TV companies that broadcasted the dog's popular show, announced on Nov. 30.The 6-year-old Labrador retriever was the main "cast" member of BS Japan and TV Tokyo's popular travel show "Daisuke-kun ga iku! Pochi tama shin pet no tabi," ("Itinerant Dog Daisuke's Trip"). Daisuke-kun had succeeded his father, Masao, who was the travel dog of the show's former edition, five years ago. According to the two sources, Daisuke-kun underwent a successful gastric torsion operation, but died on Nov. 29 after his condition took a turn for the worse. "I know your charm more than anyone else in the whole world. You can now play with your dad as much as you want," Daisuke-kun's partner in the show, comedian Hideki Matsumoto, commented in a written statement. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SbxuDivGX3g&feature=related Link to post Share on other sites

Down to that little travelling monkey now..... sakura? Sakura has been reclaimed by her original owner, as of last week or the week before. Daigo was all a-sniffle over that sudden development. But probably a necessity. Link to post Share on other sites
