“He would’ve been 12 next month … which I’m told is a long life for this breed,” the actor continued. “I always, always called him the ROCKSTAR. Because he was! He marched to the beat of his own drum, was beloved by the whole world, and boy did he have a good life.”
Concluding the heartfelt tribute, Jackman added, “We will miss him but know he’s howling in heaven, ruling the roost and enjoying the all you can eat buffet. RIP Dali Rockstar Jackman. We love you!”
