"Now I will tell you my lousy news,” he began.
"You know that I did have an epileptic dog called Bullseye. I've got two dogs that both have epilepsy and I've managed it with medication.
However on Monday night, he had a massive seizure, like a really bad one that he didn't come out of and on the way to the vets at two o'clock in the morning he died in the car
He went on to describe Bullseye as a lovely dog and talked about his funny dislike for doorways.
“You had to coax him through them and he wouldn’t go upstairs. It was part of his condition I think, he was a sweet little dog and sadly missed.”
Although the 63-year-old is no presence on social media, fans have been taking to Twitter to offer their condolences.
Sorry to hear of Paul's loss,RIP Bullseye now running free over 🌈 bridge with buster and Olga .x❤❤

Paul I’m so very sorry, I lost one of my dogs the same way. Try to take comfort from the fact that you provided a wonderful home for Bullseye and that you loved and cared for him. I truly adore you for all you do for our four legged friends. God bless xx
