CNN's Anderson Cooper sent out the sad news over social media that his dog Molly, a Welsh springer spaniel passed away Tuesday.

People that don't have pets can never understand the hurt of losing one. 

In a behind the scenes video for a 60 Minutes story, Cooper described himself as a  "total dog person".

Molly made appearances on Cooper's talk show "Anderson" and he featured pictures of her many times on his social media accounts.

Losing a pet is tough and many people don't understand how owners can be so upset over "just a dog".

We at FTVLive totally get it and offer up our thoughts to the CNN Anchor from both me and Rory,  FTVLive's VP of Cuteness.
