Good Morning America anchor George Stephanopoulos and his wife, Ali Wentworth, are reeling from a family loss days after a milestone celebration.

Wentworth and Stephanopoulos lost their beloved dog Cooper just days after watching their oldest daughter Elliott graduate from Brown University. Taking to Instagram, Wentworth shared their sad news in a tearjerker post.

“I lost my longtime companion. The greatest dog and integral part of our family. He once swam after a giant Elk in a pond. Ate a whole bottle of melatonin and felt nothing. Always devoured all the candy in our Christmas stockings. Slept at the foot of our bed and dreamt running in place. He loved every species. Especially humans. Kissed and cuddled everyone that came through our door,” she began her caption.

The comments section of the Instagram post was filled with love and support for Stephanopoulos, Wentworth, and their girls. Several of the condolence comments were from familiar faces.

“Aww. I loved him. So sorry honey!” stated Will & Grace star Sean Hayes.
