Four-legged Frasier star Eddie has died. The Jack Russell - whose real name was Moose - played Kelsey Grammer's sidekick on the show for 10 years.

His trainer, Mathilde Halberg, told America's People magazine: "He was 16-and-a-half years old, and he just had an incredible charisma and was such a free spirit.

She added: "I saved him from the dog pound. His owners called me as a last resort. He was extremely mischievous, always escaping, chewing up things and running off. Once he killed a neighbour's cat and chased some horses, that was him."


Halberg confirmed that Eddie died from old age at their Los Angeles home. Frasier was not the furry star's only brush with fame.

He also had a starring role in the 2000 movie My Dog Skip alongside Kevin Bacon and Frankie Muniz.
