Remembering Diesel vom Burgimwald

We are deeply saddened to hear of the passing of Diesel vom Burgimwald, the incredible canine star who brought Rex to life on Hudson & Rex. Diesel’s intelligence, heart, and talent made him a beloved member of the Hudson & Rex family and a fan favorite around the world.

Rex and the Hudson & Rex team have been great friends to St. John Ambulance, and we are truly grateful for their support over the years. Our thoughts are with Sherri Davis, Diesel’s dedicated trainer, and the entire Hudson & Rex team during this difficult time.

Rest easy, Diesel. You were truly one of a kind. 🐾💙 Hudson & Rex on Citytv
