From Monsters and Critics:

Moose, aka, “Eddie”, the Jack Russell terrier who appeared for ten years on the series “Frasier” as Martin Crane’s four legged sidekick, has died. 

“Eddie” often stole the scene from any actor appearing in frame with him.



In a People Magazine report, according to trainer Mathilde Halberg, “apparently his first family (in Florida) found him difficult to handle, as he refused to be house-trained and even killed a neighbor’s cat.”  When Moose turned two years old, he was put on a plane heading for Los Angeles, where he was given a second chance under Halberg’s tutelage. According to People Magazine.

“I saved him from the pound,” she elaborated in People magazine. “His owners called me as a last resort. He was extremely mischievous, always escaping, chewing up things and running off.”

“He just had an incredible charisma and was such a free spirit!”

After six months training, Moose went on his first audition, and landed the part of Frasier’s dad Martin’s best friend.

Why do I say Eddie/ Moose had Career Intensity?

He hated his job (being a house pet) and people were ready to give up on him.  Then he got some help and eventually developed (arguably) the best career of any Jack Russell terrier in TV history.  He didn’t give up and he learned and improved throughout his entire career.

If Eddie can do it, why can’t some of us old dogs learn some new tricks?
