Shannon Sharpe has announced his dog’s death with a ‘heavy heart’ on social media as the ex-NFL star paid tribute to his ‘beloved’ Pomeranian – Tazz.
The 56-year-old Sharpe took to X to share some of his best, recent memories with his 14-year-old pooch late on Tuesday, as he claimed that Tazz was his favorite out of all his pets.
‘It’s with a heavy heart I share my beloved 14yr old, Tazz has gone 2 meet his bros,’ Sharpe wrote.
‘I loved all my dogs, but every1 knew baby was my fav. Gonna miss him barking, greeting, turning so I can pick him up. It hurts, he knows I poured every oz of love I had in him.’
He added: ‘Daddy will miss you.’
Shannon Sharpe announced the death of his ‘favorite’ and beloved Pomeranian, Tazz, on Tues.
In July 2021, the former Broncos and Ravens tight end revealed that Tazz’s ‘big bro’ – Tarzan, another Pomeranian – passed away.
A few months earlier that year, Sharpe’s other dog Tonkaman – a bullmastiff – died in April after getting sick.

The three-time Super Bowl champion was also once the father to another bullmastiff, Titan.
He spoke about the death of his dogs once in a November episode of his podcast, ‘Club Shay Shay.’
It’s fair to say that Sharpe is a huge dog lover, considering that in 2018, he used his vacation to cover the Westminster Kennel Club Dog Show.
