New York City police Capt. Raynond Holt will tell you that his dog Cheddar is “no common b—h.” Outside the fictional world of NBC’s “Brooklyn Nine-Nine,” the same could be said about the corgi who portrayed Holt’s resourceful, loyal and cute AF pup.

Stewart, you see, was a he. And he has passed on.

Stewart’s owner announced Tuesday on Instagram (https://www.instagram.com/p/BzrrAB3HLdG/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link) that the canine thespian died on a California beach after a final meal of In-N-Out burgers.

He is survived by his sister and equally talented actress Stella — who, it appears, has since taken over the iconic TV role.

How does one eulogize a dog whose all-too-infrequent appearances on the top-shelf comedy evoked squeals of joy from viewers of all ages (or, at least this one)? For starters, let us reflect on that fact that his 13-plus years on Earth weren’t all makeup chairs and script rewrites.

He enjoyed cruising the beach in a wagon.
He was apparently a surfer — and had tried to teach Stella (https://www.instagram.com/p/BwsrGaDHOPg/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link) to do the same.
He even could do a decent Chewbacca impersonation (https://www.instagram.com/p/BnSirhXB12S/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link).
Yes, Stewart’s was a full life. We can all take solace knowing that he achieved a national cult following without ever having to waste a dime on improv classes. Or, without slumming it on some reality show.

Let us all pour out a little extra kibble tonight for Stewart, and keep him in our hearts during this Halloween’s heist episode.

See you at Tha Crossroads, lil’ man.

Aw, how sad. I've never watched that show but I hate hearing about the death of any animal.
