Dustin Rhodes is widely viewed as one of the most respected veterans in all of pro wrestling. Currently working on-screen and behind-the-scenes in AEW and ROH, the second-generation wrestler is a key part of the locker room. Rhodes' colleagues are now offering public support after a tragedy at home.
The Natural is known to keep in touch with his fans via social media, and he's known as a big lover of Man's Best Friend. Rhodes took to Instagram to announce that the family unfortunately had to put their Labrador Retriever down. The 15-year-old pup, named Agent 22, was treated to a last meal of three sushi rolls, which Dustin said was her favorite. He included photos from the emotional day with his wife and daughter, noting that it never gets easier when pets pass away.
