There was one less star in the sky last night after the passing of one of Pakistani television’s most dynamic and adorable actors.

‘Champion’ Zoro the golden retriever, whose appearances in the 2019 drama Ehd-e-Wafa made him a national celebrity, died on Monday at the age of nine.

The announcement of his passing on his Instagram page read, “With deepest grief and sorrow we announce the departure of Champion Zoro from this mortal world. A wonderful pet who shall be remembered for his loyalist real-life character in Ehd e Wafa. Zoro, you will be missed dearly!”

Zoro, the family pet of the former head of the military’s media wing ─ which produced Ehd-e-Wafa ─ played the beloved companion of the show’s lead Saad (Ahad Raza Mir).

Aside from his fame on television, Zoro was a regular favourite in the dog show circuit, having taken home 10 awards for being the very best boy.

He was given the title ‘Champion’ by the Pakistan Kennel Club in recognition of his impressive record of wins.

Rest in peace, Zoro. You will be missed.
