Florence Pugh and Zach Braff’s pet pooch Roscoe has died.The couple - who began dating in the spring of 2019 - both took to Instagram on Saturday (03.10.20) to mourn the loss of the 17-year-old dog, who was first adopted by the ‘Scrubs’ alum before he met Florence.Zach wrote on social media: "Today I had to say goodbye to my best friend, Roscoe Braff. He made it 17 years! I feel so lucky that we found each other. Adopt a dog. It was the best decision I ever made. Goodbye, my old friend. We'll catch up some other time.”Whilst the ‘Midsommar’ actress added: "The coolest of cool. Goodnight sweet Roscoe. Thank you for all the love you gave and for all the kisses you treated me to. I genuinely count myself lucky that I got to see such a beautiful friendship between a man and his dog.”The sad news comes after Zach, 45, was recently struck by another tragedy when his close friend, Nick Cordero, passed away in July following a battle with coronavirus that lasted nearly 100 days.Zach recently admitted visiting the Broadway star in hospital was “f****** tragic”, as he revealed the actor would have needed a "full double-lung transplant" to survive.He said: "Just for clarity's sake, he didn't have COVID-19 anymore. What COVID did to Nick is what it does to a lot of people, it comes in and wreaks havoc on your body. Then it leaves and you don't have it anymore, but you're left with what the doctors called 'lungs that look like Swiss cheese.' "Even to live he would've needed a full double-lung transplant and you only get those if you're healthy in all other ways. So the machines were really truly keeping him alive. His blood pressure wasn't strong enough so the tips of all his fingers and toes were blackening and they would have had to have been removed had he lived.”The ‘Garden State’ star visited Nick in hospital with Florence, and said watching Nick's wife Amanda Kloots "sobbing" was heartbreaking, because they were unable to "go hug her" due to the social distancing guidelines put in place because of the pandemic.He explained: "[Amanda] was never able to see him fully conscious again. This is how f****** tragic it was - she would be 10 feet away from us, Florence and I, and sobbing, and we couldn't go hug her. We would literally stand 10 feet away from her and watch our friend sobbing."
