In an Instagram post on Dave’s Instagram account, Pete revealed that their family dog Henry sadly passed away on Wednesday, May 3.

“I know today is the Bupkis premiere day but I wanna use today to remember my dog, Henry,” he wrote in the social media post alongside images and videos of Henry. “Yesterday we lost a key member of the Davidson family. Henry was only 2 years old but unfortunately got very sick very fast.”

Pete revealed that Henry entered their lives during the pandemic, a challenging time as people around the world were forced to go into isolation.

“My mom, sister, and I got Henry at the beginning of the pandemic and he saved our lives,” the actor went on to explain. “Not sure I’d even be around without him. He was the happiest and sweetest dog ever.”

The Instagram carousel shows several images of Pete and his sister Casey Davidson with the adorable pet. There’s also a video with Casey that shows a sweet interaction between her and Henry.

The actor stars in the new Peacock show Bupkis

In May last year, the actor confirmed that he would be leaving his beloved stint on SNL after eight years on the show. He is shifting his career to television series with the new Peacock show Bupkis.

The eight-episode comedy series is described as a “heightened, fictionalized version of Pete Davidson’s real life” by Peacock.

Pete was scheduled to appear on SNL on Saturday, May 6 with rapper Lil Uzi Vert but the program has been axed amid the ongoing Writers of Guild America strike.
