Malcolm Prince took to Twitter and revealed the gutting news, writing: “A message from Paul… Sadly, he had to say goodbye to Boycie today.
“He asked me to share this photo #TeamPOG #paulogrady #FarewellBoycie.”
Along with the tear-jerking news was a heartwarming picture of Paul and Boycie cuddled up on the sofa who he previously called ‘a smashing little fella’.
Paul’s dog Boycie was a playful Bischon/ShiTzu that reminded him of his former beloved dog Bullseye.

When he lost his darling pooch Bullseye he was left heartbroken.
At the time, he announced the news on his Radio 2 show and said: “I can’t handle it, it’s what I always say – invite an animal into your life, inevitably you invite heartache.”
The 64-year-old animal lover, who presents ITV’s For The Love of Dogs, has appealed to people not to adopt a pooch during lockdown.

He said: “I think you should be really cautious about getting a dog at this time because this isn’t forever you know. I know the sentiment and where it is coming from. I really do sympathise.
“What happens when all this is over and the owner goes back to work? The dog who is used to having people round all the time might find itself on it’s own. I understand and I can talk.
“I just pick a dog up and get on with it. Say you worked in an office or something the dog will be alone and might get separation anxiety.”
