Animal Star of "Frasier" Dies at 16

#1 Postby Regit » Tue Jun 27, 2006 1:02 pm

Moose, the Jack Russel terrier who played Eddie for ten years on the sitcom Frasier, has died at his owner's home in California.

Mathilde Halberg, Moose's owner and trainer, said he died of old age on Thursday evening, according to reports in the American entertainment magazine People.

Moose was a mischievous dog in his younger years, frequently running away, according to Ms Halberg.

He was given up by his former owners after he chased horses and killed the neighbour's cat.

Ms Halberg rescued Moose from the pound in the early 1990s.

Moose played a starring role in the 2000 feature My Dog Skip (as the older Skip), but he was best known as Frasier's father Martin's dog on the award-winning NBC sitcom.

He retired from acting when he turned 10. His son, Enzo, took over his role on the sitcom.

Moose's autobiography, My Life as a Dog, co-authored by Brian Hargrove, was published in 2000.

Jack Russel's are neat dogs, kind of remind me of a long-haired beagle. Oddly, I had my beagle for 16 years (found her as a pup running in a playground)...

Always sad to lose a familiar face; but at least he's had a full and well-cared for life.

RIP Moose. Nice to know he was a pound rescue. He sure was cute as Eddie. Funny how when he invited his dad to move in with him, not only did he bring a nasty old looking recliner but a dog too. Funny storyline and cute dog.

RIP Moose (aka "Eddie"). :( I sure did love him in Frasier! I know one of his sons substituted for him in the later years of the show.

I always loved his "little face" and when he stuck out his tongue. :)
