Beloved actor Michael J. Fox, famous for his role in *Back to the Future*, is mourning the loss of his faithful companion, Gus, a Great Dane-Labrador mix who had been by his side for 12 years.
Gus was a source of unwavering support for Fox, especially during his long battle with Parkinson’s disease.
In a heartfelt tribute to his one million followers, Fox shared a picture of Gus, writing, “Gus — great dog and loyal friend, we’ll miss you.”
He also referenced his 2020 memoir, *No Time Like the Future: An Optimist Considers Mortality*, where he described Gus as his “wonder dog,” a loyal friend who brought joy to everyone he met.

Fox affectionately recalled moments of connection and comfort from his beloved pet, stating that Gus provided solace and companionship during his most challenging times.
The actor expressed deep gratitude for Gus’s role in his life, saying, “I didn’t rescue Gus, he rescued me.” As Fox grieves this loss, he holds onto the love and memories that will remain in his heart forever.
