Jeremy Renner Mourns Death of His Puppy

Jeremy Renner arrives at JFK International Airport on Sunday (March 18) in New York City.

The 41-year-old actor recently got some devastating news that his beloved 8-month-old French bulldog, Franklin, had died.

Jeremy‘s business partner, Kristoffer Winters, was dogsitting the pup earlier this month and took him to his nephew’s little league baseball game.

The dog had been running around the field on a hot day but later began to vomit and convulse. TMZ reports three people “tried to give the dog mouth-to-mouth to revive the pooch – to no avail.”

Jeremy and Franklin “were extremely close,” the website added, “and he’s grief-stricken.”
