Gallop passed away and I’m ready to talk about it… (warning, very emotional!)
In loving memory of my guide dog, Gallop. An angel on earth and now an angel in heaven. Until you guide me again, I love you, my Galloper Goose.

I'm Molly, a typical sushi, makeup, and fashion loving millennial girl who just so happens to be blind! I was diagnosed with Retinitis Pigmentosa at just 4 years old and began public speaking at age 5. I started just doing motivational speaking, but now I make videos and even model! Even though I can’t see, I know that there are bright spots in everything we face. Let’s find them together. 💕

Gallop is galloping around fields in doggy heaven, getting all the belly rubs & love & attention as he should. Pain free living like a puppy 💜 He taught me & I taught my family so very much about guide dogs & he left his paw prints across the 🌎 & exceeded his expectations & his duty :) He will Dog nap in peace, we're all certain 💜 Sending my love. Hopefully some artists will draw him in his memory.

I just imagine Gypsy greeting Gallop at the rainbow bridge with “How’s our girl?” And Gallop responding with “She’s doing great! She’s sad right now but she has a great work pup to take care of her and I love her and she gave me so much cheese!” May he run and nap and eat all the heavenly treats he deserves. ❤❤❤

Gallop is the reason I got my guide dog, Marigold. She’s from the Guide Dog Foundation in New York, and you and Gallop inspired me to apply. I was still only 15 when they accepted me, even though you technically have to be 16 to receive a dog from them in most cases. The pandemic delayed…everything; so I didn’t get Marigold until 18, but I still feel I owe Gallop for her. Thank you for sharing him with me and us

Gallop is by far the most famous guide dog ever and he will forever be loved and never forgotten we loved gallop dearly and still do! He was one of a kind Molly! Thank you for sharing him with all of us.
As a veterinarian, I can tell you that all of the veterinary staff feel the loss of each and every one of our patients deeply. We often try not to break down in the room with owners, as we don't want to make it about us, but it's common for us to cry behind the scenes. Sometimes we can't hide it though and the tears flow in the room. Sometimes we have to wall off the emotions and tears to continue on with our day helping other animals. I'm so sorry Gallop reached the end of his life; I can only imagine how much harder it is losing a service animal who gave so much to you. ❤ And thank you so much for making that last video with Gallop to allow all of us to say our goodbyes. He really did leave an impact on so many of us

Gallop is the reason my second service dog is a bernese mountain dog. And the reason I ever had hope for independence. Gallop truly embodied the perfect service dog, and the perfect temperament. Dalia is now a part of his legacy.
Gallop (with your help, Molly) taught me as a sighted person what it means to be a guide dog, what kind of work he does, how to treat working dogs as a stranger and as a friend. I was a little sad for myself when he retired and it took me a bit to get used to Elton because as Molly said, this was partially Gallop's channel. But Molly is clearly in gret paws with Elton. Gallop is going to be missed by thousands of people.
This was emotional to me as a veterinary technician. I've definitely cried with the humans behind the pets we've said goodbye too. When my childhood dog passed, she picked up and carried her leash on her final walk, something she hadn't done in years
You even filming a video prior to him going to heaven for us was so moving to me because you didn’t owe us that. Thank you for sharing your journey, sharing your sweet man, who only has ever lived for you. He will never understand the gift he has been to others, but what he’s done for you-that was the delight of his life. Thank you, and goodbye Gallop. Thank you for taking care of Molly for us and making her not give up after Gypsy. She’s been a blessing to us because of it.
Oh man, I bawled like a baby. I have never felt so attached to a dog I have never met. Thank you Gallop for all your years of service, and teaching us all about what incredible creatures guide dogs are. Hugs Molly and fam. ❤
Gypsy, Gallop, Bennix, Elton... All of your dogs have touched all of your viewers in their own ways, undoubtedly they will continue to do so in each of their legacies with you ❤️

Gallop was a truly special boy. He waited until you were settled in your relationship with Elton to go as he knew you would be in safe paws with him and that his job here was done
The worst part of owning a pet, no matter how many you have it never gets any easier. I'm not going to pretend I can even understand how much more difficult it must be when that pet was also a lifeline. Thank you for sharing your story, and Gallop with us. He was an absolutely delight every time I got to see him on screen. May you hurt ease, but the love and memories remain forever.
Sobbing along with you, Molly. Gallop was so lucky to have you as his human. All the love and care you gave him, the exciting job he could do for you. And not to forget the cheese treats. He must have been so proud to literally guide you through life. At the moment you can't be around him physically, but your bond is just stretched, not broken. He's watching and guiding you from heaven.
I’m preparing to say goodbye to my 16 year old dog. I got her when I was 10 and she provided so much comfort and stability throughout my childhood. I totally understand how you feel and it’s devastating. Just the thought of never seeing her again brings me to tears.

She’s been my big sister all my life and this video really made me appreciate the time I have with her now. I’m trying to prepare myself for her to go but I know I won’t be ready in the end.

Don't apologize, this is just so hard 😢 I'm afraid I just can't finish this video, gotta go hug my guide dog and cry for a bit. HUGS!
I've had two cats pass now this way, with a home care veterinarian. It is such a peaceful process and so much easier than watching them decline or taking them into a vet clinic. If you can afford it, I recommend this for anyone who has to say goodbye to a pet. It's a blessing to be able to give them a peaceful passing. Gallop was so loved.
Saying goodbye in a peaceful way when they still have a quality of life is the best gift we can give them.
Rest in peace sweet Gallop! 😢❤ Gallop was and will always be very special to all of us! So sorry for your loss Molly!
"We built this together," Oh that really made me cry - gosh Gallop is living his best life in heaven, looking down on you and your family Molly. We will miss him forever, but his legacy will live on in all the ways he touched the world, and is cemented in that exact statement...you built this together

You and Gallop inspired me and my husband to foster a guide dog puppy at my local guide dog school. His name is Tucker and he's an 8 month old black lab. We have about a year left with him and I'm so happy that we are able to assist our community in such an impactful way. I would've never have been brave enough to volunteer without your videos detailing the importance of having a solid puppy raiser to start that training early. We already have two highly trained Aussies and we wanted to use the skills we've learned over the last 4 years for the good of the community and today he was labeled as 'advanced'! Thank you so much for all the awareness and inspiration you have generated with your channel and Gallop surely knows how loved he was.
I had to stop this 5 times to just bawl. I’m so sorry for your loss and your family’s loss. Gallop was one in a million, and I’m glad he put his head between your legs and your dad’s. I believe that was him saying his goodbye. Thank you Gallop for being an amazing service dog that we got to learn so much from. Molly, you and your family will be in my heart and prayers. May the Lord bring you comfort swiftly. 💜💜💜💜
I knew I was going to cry but oh man. Losing a dog is so hard, I can not imagine losing a guide dog. He kept you safe for 7 years. He was a good boy, he’ll come back to you just like Gypsy did.❤
'He was more angel than dog.' I could see the peace in Gallop when you were sitting in the room with him. Working in a vet office and having gone through this in my personal life, you can see when a pup is ready. He was ready. He knew you were going to be well taken care of and he knew he didn't need to be worried and was ready to take his forever nap. He'll be waiting for you, Elton John, and your family. Hugging my critters a bit tighter and sending healing vibes to you and your family.
As a pet parent, I feel your emotions so deeply. If I could hug you through the screen, I most certainly would. I feel privileged to have been able to get a sweatshirt with Gallop on it. I also think that Elton was brought into your life to help you through this time. You have my deepest sympathy and love.
Hey Molly, I work in a German shelter so I’ve comforted more animals through their last moments than I can count and I can tell you: you did everything right with your boy ❤ in my experience if animals are ready to go, putting them to sleep is especially peaceful and without any of the not so nice side effects. Gallop was ready to leave and didn’t suffer any pain except maybe the typical “old man” pains which we’re all gonna feel some day :D He had a fulfilling working life and an amazing retirement all thanks to you and your family! Much love and comfort in the next few weeks from Germany ❤
Gallop and Molly taught me so much about blindness and guide dogs. I will forever be grateful for the awareness that gallop has spread and the love he has shared. Thanks gallop, for taking care of our Molly for so long. We know Molly will continue your legacy and Elton John will keep her safe so she can do so.
Can't hold back the tears. Gallop was a great teacher for those who are sighted like myself and don't understand everything 🥰🙏 love that lil pup and I never got to meet him
absolutely sobbed. thanks for giving us this closure. my dog is 13 and she's starting to show her age, so like you said, i know her passing will be coming sooner rather than later. when it inevitably comes, i hope her passing will be as peaceful as you made Gallop's. With treats and at-home end of life care. May Gallop's memory be a blessing.

I’ve lost many furbabies over the years, and I’m only 22.. every time I lose one they take a piece of my broken human heart with them. When I can open my heart to love another one, the new love replaces a missing piece lost prior, with a piece of their heart. A truly loving and empathetic heart, one that gives unconditionally to those whom they love. It’s one of the hardest parts of pet ownership, guiding your furbaby over the rainbow bridge but it’s one of the most important parts too. Making sure they feel safe and all the love and gratitude that we have to give after years of them being by our side. ❤❤
Losing a pet is so hard. Especially when you and gallop are so connected on so many levels. You guys have each other's hearts. He had the most fabulous life. He was a lucky dog ❤

Thank you, Molly, for allowing us to say goodbye to Gallop with you. He really did mean so much to many of us and I know it doesn't compare to how much he meant to you in the slightest, but it still really does mean a lot that you thought of us too in his finally days. Thank you.
I'm so sorry for your loss. Gallop was such an incredible dog. He was there for you when you needed him the most, and you 100% returned that favor for him. It takes a lot of courage to see our pets in vulnerable states and it takes a lot to be there when they pass. It's very hard. I'm so sorry. Gallop loved you very much and he's still watching over you now ❤️
Something about that sweet pup just made him stand out. The fame, his incredible personality and dedication to his work, I have no clue what it was but something set him apart and you’re absolutely right, he wasn’t just a random dog you passed and found cute, he was one of a kind. The story of how you two met and bonded at MIRA was so so special. Lots of love, I hope there’s plenty of cheese in the doggy afterlife. I’m sure he’s glad you have Elton there it’s you, he’s left you in capable paws
It's amazing seeing just the sheer number of people that love Gallop. He has beought so much joy, comfort, and help to SO many people.
Having worked in the veterinary field, I can say that the hardest part of the end is witnessing the pain of the owner(s). You know the animal will be OK, will be out of pain and at peace -- but for the people who love them, the grief is heavy. Sending love to you, Molly, and to Gallop and the whole Burke family.

I didn’t tell you this on Instagram, because at the time I was still grieving in my own way (as someone who loved and watched Gallop from afar), but that little ball of cheese loving sunshine was the reason I decided to keep fighting for my own right to better care as a disabled/chronically ill person. He showed me what a difference a pup like him could do for someone who needed him, but he also showed me how silly and goofy these pups can be during their time off. I’m finally, after so many years, almost there. I’m getting my prospect soon (owner training the pup with the help of a professional service dog trainer who has his own organization and has worked as a lead trainer in one of the biggest guide dog schools in my country), and if it’s a boy I would love to name him something that reminds me of Gallop :’) I mean, imagine a yellow lab named Cheese?😂😭 Or, if you’d like to name him, I’d be honored, and I’m sure he would be too (If it ends up being a girl, you can still name her if you’d like). Thank you for being so open with us, always, and for trusting us enough to show us your more vulnerable side during this very difficult time. You’re so, so loved and supported, Molly. PS.

Molly, my heart breaks for you. As a pet owner, I understand the incredible pain of losing your best friend, but I can’t imagine how it must feel to lose a dog who served by your side in so many ways. RIP Galloper Gooseman. We’ll all miss you
Ughh I had to pause to cry many times. Thanks for sharing Gallop with the world, and for your openness in sharing what happened. He impacted everyone he met, and it’s helps heal and bring closure to listen and cry with you. Love you, Molly. 🐾♥️
Around 6 years ago, I found your channel. I was struggling with PTSD and no medication was really helping. I also have multiple heart issues. Because of Gallop, I started owner training my dog to respond and alert to PTSD symptoms. Eventually, she started naturally alerting to heart rate and blood pressure changes! She worked for 6 years and is now 12. She had started to finally show she was getting older last year, so she retired. I now have a 1 year old SDiT who is doing well, but I took a loan for professional help this time since I'm an adult now! I am dreading saying goodbye to my girl and hope she has more good years to come (she's a pomeranian, so longer life span), but I know one day we will go through this. I can only imagine what you're going through. I owe it to you and Gallop to learning that a service dog would massively change my life for the better, especially as my heart has worsened. Gallop is and always will be missed. You gave him the best ending, peaceful, safe, and loved. This is a lovely but sad video in his memory!
Currently holding my 9 month old puppy so close right now 😥🩵 Gallop was and always will be so loved
I’m so sorry Molly 💔 losing a normal pet is hard so I can’t even imagine what it’s like to lose a guide dog. Gallop will never be forgotten ❤️
I haven’t cried so much for a dog I have never met. But thank you for sharing Gallop with us. We’re all going to miss him so much. ♥️
I love the fact that with euthanasia on our animals, that we can indeed be there in their last minutes with us. I've treasured that also, upsetting though it may be. For my beloved pets, I feel I owe that to them. Thank you so much, Molly, for sharing that with us. This guy wishes you the best from Texas, and yes, I loved the interview that you had with Paul Castle!
The hardest part about having dogs is they get to spend their whole life with us but we miss them for all of ours ❤ I'm sure Elton will be a huge comfort to you x x
Wow, Molly. I can hardly breath, I'm crying so much. I'm so sorry for your (our) loss and really appreciate you sharing all this information with us. I'm just glad Gallop had this amazing journey, touching so many peoples lives and that he had a peaceful ending. Thank you for showing him compassion at the very end and letting him go in peace. Thank you for loving him beyond measure and always being the best mom for him. Thank you for sharing him with us through all these years. Thank you for teaching us so much about guiding dogs through him. I'm glad you now have Elton to support you through this difficult time, which you didn't have when you lost Gipsy. I guess being a guide dog user is bittersweet. You go through this cycle of loving and losing your best friend. It's so unfair that dogs don't have that much time on earth with us. But their love and our love for them is endless, and at the end of our lives we can count ourselves lucky if we've been loved by even one dog. I wish you all the blessings in this world as you heal from this. We’ll always be here to support you when you're ready.
Molly, it was so Kind of you to make this video. I'm so sorry for your loss. As my Guide has recently retired, I know his Sunset years have started... treasuring every moment. I know you treasured your every moment with Gallop. During the past weeks, We've been sending you and your family, much Love and Light.
Molly I am so sorry but so happy that you were there for him. I cried through this whole video. I can not imagine losing a guide dog whether former or current. Gallop is the angel we all need and the work you both did educating people like me about disability awareness is never going to be forgotten. My husband is legally blind. I found your channel when we first met to help me understand his experience. Your education has been so valuable for me. Please know through your pain that you and Gallop achieved your purpose of educating people. I have learned so much from you and continue to learn with every video.
Im so sorry Molly, you gave Gallop the best life a dog could have.
My heart is so so heavy, and this video took me forever to watch as i kept having to pause it and dry my weeping eyes. If it wasn't for you and Gallop i wouldn't have my guide dog, Guinness. When i began to lose my vision i was heavily in denial about my circumstances, and how much my life was spiralling out of control. Then i found you, and both you and Gallop gave me hope that maybe life could still be enjoyed and wasn't all doom and gloom, so i applied for my guide dog. So everytime i walk down the street with my boy Guinness i think of you two and smile. Thanks for letting us have a moment to smile and share our condolences to the big cheese monster. He will forever be a part of this channel, and all of our lives. Sending you so much love all to all of you. Love from your friends Frankie and Guinness 🐾🩵
I really don’t think think I’ve ever cried more watching this video. Gallop will be missed
I haven’t been able to watch this video till now. The day I saw it I said I’m not ready and I saved it. 7 months later it popped up again and I decided I had to say goodbye to him. Sounds silly that I’m crying over I didn’t know but I got my dog around the same time and sadly they both passed a few months apart and I felt like I was saying goodbye to my dog all over again. Thank you for sharing this ❤️
What a beautiful story. I'm a veterinary nurse and I love feeding the babies everything and all things before they take their forever sleep. They deserve all the goodness. Gallop was so lucky to have you and your family. So many amazing memories to help get you through this difficult time. What an amazing boy. Thank you for being an amazing dog mommy.
Gallop will be so very missed and his beautiful and loyal personality, and steady strength has shone across the world to New Zealand. Guide dogs hold a very special place in my heart and I'm very grateful for all Gallop has taught us. Much love to you and your family. ❤️
As soon as you started feeding him cheese I lost it. Gallop has taught me so much about service dogs and inspired me to look into the puppy raiser program for when I have a house! We will miss you so much Mr. Gooseman.
Gallop definitely made a huge impact on the world! His goofy and cheese loving self will definitely be missed by many. Molly, my heart goes out to you. One of my dogs passed in a similar way, and I know how hard that can be. Im so sorry that you had to go through that, but I'm sure he knew how loved he was. Thank you for allowing us the chance to grieve with you. You are definitely in my thoughts.
I’m sorry Molly, I understand how you feel, know you are never alone. So many people loved Gallop and we will never stop. I won’t lie about it, I cried so many times watching this video. Rest in cheese paradise Gallop 🐕🦺🕊️
He really was an amazing boy, Molly absolutely showed him the perfect life. Shedding a few tears for Gallop, he was one of the hardest working boys ❤️
My heartfelt condolences to you. Its hard enough to lose a pet, but Gallop was essentially a part of you. You and Gallop are one of the reasons I'm currently studying to be a Disability advocate to help educate and advocate. Love from Australia xx
I lost my cat on 26th of May which is Mother's Day in Poland. She had a renal lymphoma and earlier that week the vet was really impressed how well she was doing and literally 4 days later we were back at the vet saying goodbye... I was told it's better to let them go a day too early than a day too late and I think you got Gallop's time perfectly right. Sending you biggest hugs Molly, from one grieving pet mum to another
Molly! 💔🫂😭 I'm so grateful that you've shared this story. Our hearts ache with you. Sending you all the love and healing possible. ❤️🩹❤️🩹❤️🩹 We truly love and miss you, Gallop. 💔🌈
Gallop will be missed dearly. Nothing will ever replace him and his goofiness. I started watching your channel when gallop was still your working dog. He was an amazing gentle soul. Gallop was my first look at the Service Dog world. Now I love watching service dog videos and learning more about what amazing things they can do. I'm so sorry for your loss Molly. Rest easy Gallop
So sorry Molly, Gallop will never be forgotten ❤
Molly, I haven’t seen your videos in so long. I’m so sorry. When I think Molly I think Gallop. I was shocked to see this. I’m so proud of you and everything he has done. He was an amazing boy. We all loved him and we know you did too. He’s very very special. You are going to be just fine he’s always with you and sending friends to keep you company.
Molly we will miss Gallop, you shared him with us and we will miss him. Gallop is with Gypsy and they will be waiting for you at the rainbow bridge to help guide you home. You shared so much of your pets with us and we will all miss him. Gallop rest easy knowing that Molly has Elton John to guide her now.
I am so sorry, Molly. You don't know me, but I've been a fan of yours (and Gallop's, of course) for awhile now. I feel like I know you both because of what you've shown us. and while we will all miss him, I know you will miss him the very most. It's so strange that I feel tears slipping down my cheeks for a dog I never even met. Thank you, Gallop for all you did for Molly.
Thank You for sharing your gentle giant with us. Gallop will always have a special place in your heart and our hearts. My guide dog goes under my legs and I am always reminded of Gallop when he does it.
