While people across the world mourns her demise, it was this one tiny mortal that caught people’s attention in the recent years. Her French bulldog, Gary.

In the video, it is adorable how Gary runs into the studio following her mommy Carrie with his drooping tongue and tiny body. That’s not it. He waits for Carrie to show him the chair he should sit on. Just after Gary take his seat, he starts licking Carrie’s hand unstoppably. Colbert even asked Carrie if she had dipped her fingers in steak sauce. To which, Carrie jokingly responded saying, “I am not going to tell you what I did with my hand.”
