The Jack Russell Terrier that played 'Eddie' on the long-running sitcom, 'Frasier', died last week. The pup's real name is Moose. His trainer says he died of old age last Thursday in Los Angeles. The little fella was 16-and-a-half years old, which is impressive for a dog.Moose's trainer, Mathilde Halberg, saved him from the pound back in the early 1990s. She tells PEOPLE magazine, "He was extremely mischievious, always escaping, chewing up things and running off. When he killed a neighborhood cat and chased some horses, that was it." Sounds like little Moose was a bad ass.

I do believe they stopped using Moose in some of the later episodes and used his children instead, or something like that.

eddie had his own little personality, im sure if there was a eulogy for this special creature it would not have been a difficult one from anyone on the show.

Being upstaged by Eddie had to have been the best compliment an actor could add to their resume. We'll miss you Eddie.

I am sure that if there is any truth that "All Dogs go to Heaven," this dog is sitting on the right hand side of God and watching the re-runs of Frazier.
