Buddy (1986 - February 10, 1998) was a dog actor, best known for playing Comet in Full House and playing Buddy in Air Bud (1997) and for the Air Bud series of films based on his character. In February 1998, Buddy died in his sleep of complications from a form of cancer. A stray, Buddy was believed to have been 9 1/2 to 10 years old.


Buddy was found by Kevin di Cicco as a stray dog in the Sierra Nevada mountains in the summer of 1989. Kevin di Cicco adopted the disheveled dog and brought him home to San Diego, where he trained him in the sports of basketball, baseball, football, soccer, and hockey.


His first appearance was on America's Funniest Home Videos. He then gained further fame dunking baskets on David Letterman's Stupid Pet Tricks segment of the Late Show with David Letterman.


Buddy played Comet the dog in 6 seasons (1989-95) of the television sitcom Full House, which began airing in 1987.


Buddy was also well-known for his stardom in the Air Bud series for the role of Buddy, a dog abandoned by his previous owner. In the movie, he moved in with a boy named Josh who was depressed due to the death of his father. The movie was released in 1997. He appeared on the Kids' Choice Awards in 1998, where he was nominated for a Blimp Award for the movie. Air Bud: Golden Receiver was made in his memory.

Although I haven't considered myself a fan of "Full House" in many years, I decided to find out more information on this beautiful, talented dog two weeks ago because he reminded me so much of my own. Of course I knew he'd no longer be with us today, but this informed me of his backstory and that he'd departed much sooner than I'd thought. I would've shared it yesterday instead had I known it was the 10th. Mr. di Cicco, I'd like to thank you for rescuing Buddy and allowing him to provide laughter and mirth for many generations to come =']

Great photos. I always though Comet was one of the better tv pets.

Many thanks! I have at least twenty more, but it's frustrating to upload them one at a time on my iPad. I'll definitely add them from my laptop later Yes, I agree, and he deserves a thread dedicated in his honor for that reason alone

P.S. You've selected an excellent avatar of the precious Shirley Temple! May she rest in peace as well

How sad. I didn't know he had died so long ago! And I didn't know he was the same dog in the Air Bud movies either!
