Former WWE Champion Dave Bautista is currently grieving a personal loss. The Hollywood actor took to X to announce the passing of his beloved dog, Ollie. Dave wrote an eulogy, saying that his pet fought valiantly before taking his last breath.
The 55-year-old reminisced about Ollie’s time with his fellow pets, especially Maggie. On that note, Bautista thanked everyone who sent their love for the deceased soul. The Animal’s had a tough time of late.
First off, his action comedy starrer, The Killer’s Game, bombed at the box office. The film barely clocked $5 million in revenue across both global and domestic markets. That figure would seem more paltry when one realizes that the film’s production cost wasn’t exorbitant, with only $30 million needed to make it.
Despite nearly 80% of the general audience liking what Bautista had to offer, the movie has a 44% rotten score. Current WWE Superstar Drew McIntyre is also featured in the movie in a side role. Despite its engaging plot, The Killer’s Game suffered the wrath of releasing misfortune, competing with some heavy hitters the same week.
In loving memory of my sweet boy, Ollie. He fought with all he had, and I hope I made him as happy as he made me. He loved people, animals, his sisters (especially Maggie🥹), sunbathing, stealing toys, and bedtime.
Thank you to everyone who showed him love. Goodnight, Ollie. We… pic.
