Jon Stewart is back hosting Monday night episodes of The Daily Show, and his recent Feb. 26 show turned personal as he eulogized his dog, Dipper, who died.
The comedian ended the episode with the remembrance, noting that his family first met Dipper over a decade ago while raising money for the Animal Haven shelter in New York.
Jon began to tear up while recounting how, while working a cupcake stand outside the shelter years ago with his children, the shelter brought out Dipper, a "one-ish year old brindle pit bull who [had been] hit by a car in Brooklyn and lost his right leg."
Jon's family left the shelter that day "feeling really good that we'd helped this great organization" and taking Dipper home.
