Fashion Designer Harald Glööckler Mourns the Loss of Beloved Dog Billy

The 14-year-old Papillon, a constant companion in life and on screen, passed away at the breeder's home where he was born.

Billy, Harald Glööckler's Papillon dog, passed away at 14 years old due to ongoing health issues, including heart and lung problems.
The dog, described by Glööckler as his 'best and most loyal friend,' had accompanied the designer in both his personal life and television appearances for over a decade.
Glööckler participated in Billy's final moments via video call, ensuring the dog did not pass away alone.
The designer plans to have Billy cremated and keep the urn, expressing no interest in traditional pet burial practices or immediate plans for a new dog.
Billy was featured in Glööckler's 2013 book, 'Billy King - Mein Leben mit Harald Glööckler,' which narrated their life together from the dog's perspective.
