Fraser Dog Eddie Dies

Moose, the feisty Jack Russell terrier who played Eddie for 10 years on TV’s Frasier, has died, his trainer Mathilde Halberg tells PEOPLE. “He was 16-and-a-half years old, and he just had an incredible charisma and was a such a free spirit,” said Halberg. Moose, considered the Lassie of the ’90s, died Thursday night of old age at Halberg’s Los Angeles-area home.

Moose retired from showbiz when he was 10, and, although he also played a starring role in the 2000 Frankie Muniz-Kevin Bacon feature My Dog Skip (as the older Skip), he was best known for stealing scenes from Kelsey Grammer on the long-running Emmy-winning NBC sitcom. “He was always trying to put Frasier in uncomfortable circumstances,” said his trainer, who had rescued him in the early 1990s.

A shame, but 16-1/2 is a long life for a dog.
