Sophia Bush:

I said goodbye to my best friend yesterday. I don't quite have the words yet, but the condolences are coming in fast as the word has spread. Thank you to everyone who loved Patch, and is sending that love my way. He changed a lot of lives, truly. I watched this dog soothe people, heal people, help people, and make people laugh, squeal, and grin with happiness. He was one in a million. Yesterday my loved ones and I made sure to give him #PatchsVeryBestDay. And today being #NationalDogDay feels like such a sweet coincidence. I think he'd like that. Thank you P. You are so missed. ❤️✨🙏🏼
