Wow, check out this little old man! Actor Dermot Mulroney recently brought him on a talk show. Poor little guy has to deal with 2 rambunctious puppies at home and is blind, deaf and toothless. Funny video but I do feel sorry for the little old man.

That was cruel & abusive to watch this 22nd year senior being the butt of a lot of lame jokes to make the actor seem funny & to think he used to be one of my favorites. I too had a blind dog & it was beyobd pitiful. He even bragged that it happened on a daily basis & pretty much waiting for him to die. This truly broke my heart & nothing is remotely funny about it..Nothing ?
Personally I don’t think he meant to be cruel. I just think he’s ignorant about dogs. It definitely isn’t smart to bring in 2 puppies while they still have Maverick. Poor old guy doesn’t deserve having to deal with that on a daily basis.
Agreed video is not at all funny. No respect for anyone who thinks it is.?
Agreed! And my chi/pug is turning 16 in 2 mths and she gets around pretty good. But I would never do this to her!
Yes it made me so sad, was quite mean.
@kilosmom, He’s not only cruel, but also a low-grade idiot.
Yeah, he’d have to be to put poor Maverick through dealing with a puppy at his age.
This video was sad and disgusting. I have had 3 old dogs and I would never subject them to this abuse. He is ignorant if he believes that the puppy running at a blind, deaf and feeble old guy is love.
I think puppy may love Maverick but being a puppy, he’s just too rough on the poor old guy.
Very sad, maverick doesn’t need to be pushed around by the puppy and I am SURE he didn’t enjoy it ! I would love to take him and show him the love he needs !! Not a funny video even in the slightest way! VERYYYYY disrespectful to maverick! I am sorry buddy !!!
Yes, I adore puppies but I think out of respect for this old gentleman, they should have waited until he passed before getting a new puppy.
Give me a break. I have a 15.5 ur old
Chi that is dealing with two Chi puppies and he loves it. He is deaf, but still has taken them under his wing. Every household is different, and I’m sure a dog that has movie star parents has the best care.
Maybe but there is a big difference in dog years between a 15 year old and a 22 year old.
Poor dog, his toenails were badly in need of being trimmed!
Yeah he does.
I didnt find this funny either. I have a 16 year old and have other smaller/younger ones but they absolutely respect her and give her space. They will stand completely stand still if shes up and walking around.
That’s great that your younger ones show your older dog respect like that. I’m impressed.
Not even close to funny.
No it isn’t.
He is a jerk. I have a 16 year old Chi who is almost blind and hearing is bad. He is also missing most of his teeth but I would never make fun of him like this idiot did. I hope when he is old his grandkids make fun of him and torture him.
I’m not sure if he meant to make fun of his dog but he sure wasn’t sensitive. Poor old guy.
What a jerk. That’s all I can say. Karma will hit you awefully ass
I really think he was totally clueless at how wrong it was to bring in a puppy to terrorize this poor old dog.
Not funny. Mulroney should be ashamed of himself! Animal abuse! Can’t even pet the dog right. Look how rough he pulls up on the dog’s shoulders.
I don’t think he’s being intentionally mean, I just think he’s totally clueless about dogs.
i used to like this guy but not anymore. so much stress to bring a dog with that many problems on a show that is has to be busy. also for them to let the younger dogs pick on him. that is not funny at all.
No it isn’t funny. I lost some respect for him.
Wow I used to like Dermot. He is an ignorant jerk. Poor Maverick is blind and cannot hear and he records these playful puppies messing with poor Maverick who cannot see or hear them coming at him. He is probably scared and yes stressed. He does not deserve Maverick.Maverick deserves a home where he can be in a peaceful setting.
I know, I feel so bad for the poor old guy.
Actor Dermot Mulroney is a jerk of a pet owner. Have a heart! Maverick needs love and peace, security, cuddled and all his needs met in his final days. Poor little guy should not be the butt of jokes and cruel entertainment. May God watch over and protect this lovely Chihuahua!
I used to like him but my opinion changed after I saw this interview.
