Monty Don’s beloved dog Nigel has died and this is such a funny and heartwarming clip
As you may have read this week, Monty Don’s beloved golden retriever Nigel has died after a sudden illness.
“To the end he was happy, healthy and his usual calm, lovely self,” the presenter wrote on Instagram. “He slipped quietly away with no pain or suffering and is now buried in the garden with lots of tennis balls.”
And Gardeners’ World posted their favourite clip of presenter and his dog and it’s such a funny and heartwarming moment.
As you may have heard on @BBCr4today, Nigel often stole the show when we were filming with Monty at Longmeadow. Here's one of our favourite clips from a couple of years ago 🐾 #GardenersWorld #RIPNigel pic.twitter.com/E8h5qkbtXX

Wonderful!
This whole sad sad loss of Nigel has me in floods… how Monty must be feeling I can’t bear to think. A nation is in mourning with you Monty.

Beautiful Anyone that says "It's a dog you will get another" obviously has never had a dog, each of them are irreplaceable individuals that enrich our life.
