After comedian Jon Stewart shared the emotional news that his cherished tripod, Dipper, had passed away, a deluge of donations flooded the New York City no-kill shelter where Stewart adopted the dog twelve years ago.
“Dipper passed away yesterday,” Stewart tearfully said during a Monday episode of "The Daily Show." “He was ready. He was tired. But I wasn’t," Stewart added. "And the family, we were all together — thank goodness. We were all with him. But boy, my wish for you is that one day you find that dog — that one dog that is just the best." Stewart followed by sharing a "moment of zen" — a video clip of Dipper, a brindle pitbull mix, romping around in the snow.
