Beloved actor Michael J. Fox is mourning the loss of his longtime companion, Gus, a Great Dane\u2013Labrador mix who passed away at age 12. Gus stood by Fox through years of personal and health challenges, including his battle with Parkinson\u2019s disease.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fox shared a tribute on social media, calling Gus a \u201cgreat dog and loyal friend,\u201d and referenced his memoir No Time Like the Future, where he described Gus as his \u201cwonder dog.\u201d Fox often credited Gus with easing his isolation, offering constant comfort, and even helping motivate his recovery after spinal surgery in 2018.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI didn\u2019t rescue Gus,\u201d Fox once wrote. \u201cYou can argue that he rescued me.\u201d Gus leaves behind a lasting legacy of love, loyalty, and companionship.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
