YouTuber and online personality Daniel "Keemstar" shared a rather tragic update during his latest LolCow livestream (April 14, 2025). The YouTuber revealed that his pet dog (named Skip) was killed after being hit by a vehicle. What's more disturbing is that this incident occurred while he was streaming the podcast episode with Steven "Boogie2988."

LolCow Live is a podcast by Keemstar, Boogie2988, WingsOfRedemption, and TommyC. The latest episode was uploaded yesterday. At around the one hour and 30 minutes mark, someone knocked on the YouTuber's room and delivered the tragic news. He promptly got up and left the room for a few minutes. When he returned, a visibly emotional Keemstar said:

"Boogie, I have to end the show. My dog just got killed. Skip just got hit by a car. I gotta go."

For those wondering, Keemstar's dog Skip, was a Golden Collie, a mix between a purebred Border Collie (his father) and an Irish Cream Golden Retriever (his mother). This was confirmed by the YouTueber via his X page:

"His father was a purebred border collie champion & his mother was a show golden retriever. He’s a golden collie."
