ESPN college football analyst Kirk Herbstreit has shared a crushing update about the health of his dog, Ben. “I’ve had so many people asking me about Ben that I wanted to let you know-Ben had a 2nd chemo injection on October 23rd and from that day has been getting worse and worse,” he wrote Nov. 4 on both Instagram and X. “He has lost use of his back legs-almost like they’re paralyzed. He can barely walk. He hasn’t eaten in 3 days.
🙏🏼 He’s currently in an ER hospital overnight and I’m picking him up tomorrow for another round of Vitamin C. Please pray for Ben and hope he pulls out of it.” Ben has become a star in his own right as Herbstreit crisscrosses the country for ESPN’s “College GameDay” and announces college football games, as well as “Thursday Night Football” on Prime Video. In 2023, Herbstreit revealed Ben, who travels with him, had become a certified emotional service animal.
