Jon Stewart gave an emotional tribute to his dog Dipper on Monday night during his “moment of zen” segment on “The Daily Show.”Stewart announced that his dog, and fellow “Daily Show” crew member, Dipper, had passed away on Sunday night.”Dipper passed away yesterday,” Stewart said. “He was ready. He was tired, but I wasn’t.”Stewart then shared how his family got Dipper after his kids wanted to raise money for Animal Haven in New York City. When selling cupcakes outside, the shelter brought out a brindle pitbull who lost his leg after being hit by a car. Stewart’s family decided to adopt Dipper that day and was a member of the family for the past 12 years. Stewart also shared that Dipper would come to “The Daily Show” every day and was a member of “The Daily Show” dog crew. “We’d come to tape this show, and Dipper would wait for me to be done,” Stewart said. “He met actors and authors and presidents and kings. And he did what the Taliban could not do, which is, put a scare into Malala Yousafzai.”Stewart then showed a video of Malala Yousafzai running away when she saw Dipper in the hallway when she appeared on the show. “My wish for you is one day you find that dog, that one dog… It’s just… It’s the best,” Stewart said before dedicating his “moment of zen” to a video of Dipper.
