The cast of The Walking Dead pay tribute to the dog star of the show.

In the AMC series, which ends in 2022, the death of Seven, who played Daryl’s loyal companion with the imaginative name Dog, was announced.

The social media post, which featured Belgian Shepherd Seven as The Walking DeadDaryl’s “best boy” inspired several stars of the series to receive tributes, including Daryl actor Norman Reedus.

“I’m going to miss you seven,” said the actor, who is currently starring in his own spin-off series. Daryl Dixon, wrote on Instagram. After sharing several photos of himself with Seven, he posted a broken heart emoji and added: “Best TV mate ever.”

Other actors who paid tribute to “Seven” included Khary Payton, who played Ezekiel, and Lynn Collins, who took on the role of the villainous Leah.

Meanwhile, the series’ former showrunner, Angela Kang, re-shared the original post and added a crying face emoji.

Seven first appeared in the ninth season of the series. He appeared in a total of 25 episodes.

Speak with ComicBook.com Reedus said of working with the canine star in 2018: “We just shot a scene the other day that ended up being the opposite of what it was supposed to be because the dog just wanted to do something different, and it turned out so much better.”

“He’ll probably run the show. It’s great! I love it. He loves me too.”

Lincoln is best known for his role as Mark, who is in love with Keira Knightley’s Julia, in the 2003 romantic comedy The Last Man. Love actually.

Director Richard Curtis has now commented on the famous scene in which Mark shows up at Julia’s door with cue cards to reveal his feelings, and tells The Independent: “I find it a bit strange. I remember being surprised about seven years ago when someone asked me to interview them and they said, ‘Of course, we’re mainly interested in the stalker scene,’ and I said, ‘What scene is that?’ And then I was sort of enlightened about it,” he said.

“All I can say is that there were a lot of intelligent people involved in the film at the time and we didn’t think it was a stalker scene,” he added. “But if it’s interesting or funny (today) for other reasons, then, you know, God bless our progressive world.”

Season two of Daryl Dixon – titled The book Carol – Reedus will star alongside Carol actress Melissa McBride.
