Mickey Rourke -- Comforted By Puppy Love

Posted Feb 18th 2009 10:10AM by TMZ Staff

Following the loss of his beloved dog Loki yesterday, Mickey Rourke couldn't help but pet every pup that passed him by last night in NYC.

On his way out of dinner at the Waverly Inn, Mickey explained that his beloved Chihuahua died around 5:00 AM, but the saddened actor said he still didn't have the words quite yet to express how he was feeling.

Loki was 18.

8. I think Rourke is the type of person who relates better with animals then people. He is a odd ball only in the sense he has early on fought against going with the Hollywood machine compare him to what he looked like when he first started he has done almost everything he can do to seperate himself from what hollywood expected him to look like. Poor guy well atleast he gave the dog a good home

10. I feel bad for him because I'm always devastated when one of my dogs die.

11. That's sad to hear! It's an awful for anyone to deal with even if the animal is old. I'll be praying for him.

12. It's a shame he does not miss his brain cells as much as his dog. But seriously, I know loosing a long-time pet is hard. I'm just sayin'.

13. My heart goes out to him. I know how it feels. I lost my dog to cancer and it put me into a funk for a long time. He clearly loves his dog very much. Maybe some time in the future he can get another one.
