Yahoo Lifestyle John Oliver's Attempt To Pay Homage To Dog Who Passed During Emmys Is Giving People the Feels
John Oliver took the stage at the Emmy's last night to accept the Emmy award for Outstanding Scripted Variety Series and thanked all of the usual people in his acceptance speech, his staff, HBO, his kids, his wife and in a touching moment, his dog that passed away.
The issue is, the comedian Oliver got cut off by the orchestral music just when he was mentioning his dog.
In the speech Oliver said, "We have the most fantastic dog. She was at our wedding and she got us through the pandemic, she was with us for two pregnancies.” As the band began to play , he joked, “Perfect choice of music! We had to say goodbye to her.”

The next line he spoke was bleeped out but it appeared that Oliver told the audience “F--- you!. He went on to say, “I feel like Sarah McLachlan right now,” he joked. “She was an amazing dog.”
The band briefly stopped playing, but came back in as Oliver said “This isn’t just for her, this is for all dogs! You are all very good girls, you are very good boys. You all deserve a treat. Play me off now, thanks so much!”
It's so hard losing a beloved dog and what a sweet tribute Oliver made to her!
