Seth Rogen Mourns Death of 13-Year-Old Dog, Zelda: ‘We Belonged to Each Other’

Seth Rogenis mourning the loss of his beloved dog, Zelda.

After nearly 14 years of cherished memories together, theSuper Mario Bros.star announced the death of his “perfect girl” in a heartbreaking tribute Sundayon Instagram, sharing that he and Zelda “belonged to each other.”

“She was truly the most special, magical creature. She taught us about love, resilience, strength and kindness,” he shared. “We loved her more than words can describe. Everyone who met her saw what a unique little puppy she was. She’d stare in to your soul with her gigantic buggy eyes. She was so judgmental, that when she loved you, you really knew you earned it, and it made you feel like you had won.”

Adding a long list of highlights that were special about Zelda, Rogen shared memories such as, “The sound she made for Zankou chicken,” he said of the popular Los Angeles chain. “The way the fur on her legs looks like culottes from the back,” he joked of the wide-legged clothing item.

As for her bathroom habits, thePam & Tommystar noted Zelda’s “big gigantic poops that always surprised people because of her small size” and how she would pretend to go outside “to get us away from our food, although she would never actually go for it.”

Overall, Rogen said it felt “incredible” to “wake up in the morning and see her staring back at me.”

“We belonged to each other and we will miss her forever,” the dog parent concluded the tribute.

“There’s a whole huge thing I’m not doing …which is raising children,” the Houseplant founder said with a laugh.

“Some people want kids, some people don’t want kids. I think a lot of people have kids before they even think about it, from what I’ve seen,” he explained. “Honestly, you just are told, ‘You go through life, you get married, you have kids. That’s what happens.’ And me and my wife, neither of us were like that.”
