Kirk Herbstreit Cries Calling Late Dog 'Nation's Best Friend' on ESPN


Kirk Herbstreit paid tribute to his late dog, Ben, during the Saturday, November 9, broadcast of ESPN’s ‘College GameDay’

Herbstreit gushed that whether he was working in his hotel room, a broadcast booth or on the College GameDay set, he could pet the pup and “feel like [he] was home.” “With the season 10 finale also comes Tuesday’s last episode on Chicago Fire,” dog trainer Christine Mahaney wrote via Instagram in May 2022, announcing the death of the TV dalmatian. “This is really hard to write but so many of you have loved and cared about Ben that I wanted to let you know,” the broadcaster wrote via social media on Thursday, November 7.
