The Nose On Your Face has learned that former Frasier co-star Moose the dog has died. Better known as Eddie, Frasier Crane’s playful canine companion on that hit television show, Moose enjoyed a long and successful career, albeit one twinged with tragedy. 

Scarred at an early age by a rolled up newspaper incident, Moose was never able to read the accolades that he earned from critics. After a mailman chase gone awry, Moose had his first run-in with Mace and realized that he was headed down the wrong path in life.

“Moose hit rock bottom after the macing,” said lifelong friend Todd Bridges. “He vowed to himself that he wouldn’t go the same route his father had gone. I still remember his words, he looked right at me and said ‘Todd, take that f***ing crack pipe out of your mouth I’m trying to talk to you!’ Then he said, ‘I want you to know that I will never be given to a nice family on a farm outside of town. I don’t care how much room they say there is for me to run, I’m not having it’. After that, he got his act together and the rest is history.” 

Moose did get his “act together” in a big way, landing a major role on Frasier and capturing the hearts of millions. However, he was never able to fully escape his demons.

“Ol’ Moosey loved to knock back a few drinks every now and again,” said friend and former drinking companion Gary Busey. “‘Scotch and soda was his poison. I’ve seen him suck down nine or ten drinks in a single night. That might not seem like a lot, but that’s between sixty-three and seventy to me and you. On top of that he was a caninizer of the first order. He loved the ladies and the ladies loved him right back. How the hell do you think he got the nickname ‘Moose’? You sure as hell don’t see any antlers on his head do you?”

Perhaps Moose’s life is best summed up by his ex-girlfriend Courtney Love, “He was a true gentleman. He was always respectful and funny, and he s*** on the floor way less than me. I’ll miss him.”
