Martha Stewart's dog Paw died of renal failure
Martha Stewart's dog Paw, Paw has died of renal failure.
The 60-pound chow, a familiar face on her television show and in her magazine, was almost 13.
Paw Paw -- so named because of his large paws -- "was a spectacular chow and an even more spectacular dog," Stewart wrote in a blog post about his death Saturday. "He was always my loyal companion, displaying the most agreeable temperament."
The dog's full name was Kublai Khan Paw Paw Chow Chow Chow. Stewart had owned him since he was born, according to an Associated Press report.
"Even in his final days, Paw Paw just stopped eating and drifted off to deep sleeps, where he now rests peacefully, and, I’m most confident, quite happily," Stewart wrote. "I will miss him, always."
