Joan Rivers says pet dog helped her through grief

Joan Rivers has confessed her pet dog saved her from suicide.The acid-tongued comedienne was so depressed after her husband, Edgar Rosenberg, took his own life she considered killing herself.But her beloved Yorkshire Terrier, Spike, stopped her by jumping on the gun she was planning to use.Joan revealed: "Dogs know when you are in pain."Tragically, Spike died two years ago at the age of 18 - and Joan is still struggling to come to terms with his demise.She confessed to Britain's Weekend magazine: "He was my friend to the end. He died in front of a fireplace where he had lain for a month on an old fur coat he liked. After two years I wasn't over his death."Then my vet called to say, 'I've got a dog who's been mistreated. Can you help me? It will take your mind off Spike.' And that was my Pekinese. But someone you love can never be replaced."Copyright 2005 BANG Media International
