The late Arizona Sen. John McCain’s beloved dog Burma has died.
McCain’s daughter and co-host of the “The View” Meghan McCain wrote in a lengthy Instagram post on Monday announcing the Chesapeake Bay retriever had died.
“Every time I think my heart can’t be broken any further…” Meghan McCain wrote.
“Our dog Burma was my fathers birthday present years ago and was absolutely and truly devoted to him,” she wrote. “She would never leave his side, followed him around every single step when he would walk around our ranch, slept by his side every night and we always said Chesapeake bay retrievers were the most affectionate breed of dogs.
“The love this dog gave him was equal to a family member. I love you Burma and hope you’re in heaven jumping into creeks, chasing sticks and fish with Dad,” she added.
McCain died last year of brain cancer. He was a frequent target of President Trump both in life and in death. McCain, a Republican, broke with the majority of his party and voted against a GOP plan to repeal Obamacare in 2017, creating a further rift between himself and Trump.
