Police have confirmed that Egg, the 14-week-old pug who went missing last week, has died.
Egg's disappearance triggered a frantic puppy hunt last week. But the story took a strange turn on Wednesday when police in NSW charged Egg's owner – who had claimed Egg was stolen from him during a walk – with making a false report.
Police said Egg was not stolen, but died at his owner's home before his body was disposed of.
People were heartbroken as news of Egg's death spread.
Rest in peace Egg. We know you're living the dream up there in that big park in the sky.
