Losing Loki Rourke
Posted: February 18th, 2009 | Author: admin | Filed under: Uncategorized | 1 Comment »Throughout Mickey Rourke’s triumphant comeback with his film The Wrestler, Rourke has spoken about his entourage of devoted dogs.
In Rourke’s acceptance speach at the GoldenGlobes in January, he thanked his dogs, “Sometimes, when a man is alone, that’s all you got is your dog. And they’ve meant the world to me.” Rourke also brought one four legged friend to the Venice Film Festival- a particularly adorable Chihuahua named Loki. Sadly, on Monday night at the tender age of 18 Loki passed away.

Loosing a dog, even when they’ve lived a long wonderful life as Loki did, is devastating. Dogs are love and support. The sudden absence of that love can send people into a tail spin. If you need help after the loss of your dog, don’t feel like a freak. Know that it’s totally normal and there are places you can go for support.
