Earlier this week, the “College GameDay” analyst revealed that Ben had been undergoing chemo treatments but that the situation was deteriorating.

Herbstreit’s beloved golden retriever had become somewhat of a celebrity through frequent appearances on ESPN’s “College GameDay” and in the broadcast booth.

ESPN college football analyst Kirk Herbstreit was overcome with emotion while talking about his late service dog, Ben, during "College GameDay."

The emotional tribute video contained videos and pictures of Herbstreit, 55, and Ben traveling in hotel rooms and Ben making appearances on ESPN and at college games over the years. He shared that he “first started bringing Ben on the road” with him for support.

Ben, Kirk Herbstreit's certified emotional support animal, had been diagnosed with cancer earlier this year. Audiences grew to love the 10-year-old golden retriever who appeared on TV with his owner.

The video says 'Dogs only flaw as a species is they don't live long enough' and truer words were never spoken. We will forever miss Ben.
