Kirk Herbstreit recently shared a heartbreaking update on his beloved 10-year-old golden retriever, Ben, who has become a fan favorite on “College GameDay” and beyond. Ben, who was diagnosed with leukemia earlier this year, had a second chemotherapy injection on October 23rd, but his condition has worsened. Herbstreit revealed that Ben has lost the use of his back legs and hasn’t eaten in three days.
Despite the grim situation, Ben is receiving treatment to flush out toxins, and the family is waiting to see if there is any hope for recovery in the coming days. Herbstreit asked for prayers as Ben continues to fight for his life, underscoring the special bond between them and Ben’s role as a source of joy and positivity on set, often referred to as the “chief of happiness.”
