Dogs are a man’s best friend, but family comes first for Andy Cohen.
The “Watch What Happens Live” host sadly announced Friday that he was forced to give his pup, Wacha, a new home after “an incident” that possibly involved his new son. (The “Real Housewives” executive producer welcomed Benjamin Allen Cohen, via surrogate in February 2019.)
“I’ve put off sharing this news as long as I could,” Cohen, 51, began via Instagram. “As you may know, Wacha is my first baby, my beautiful rescue puppy. He is my pride and joy. When he came into my life, my world changed.”
Wacha frequently accompanied Cohen to the “WWHL” clubhouse and mingled with celebs; his owner even jokingly compared the pup to former “RHOBH” star Lisa Vanderpump once.
He continued, “Over the nearly seven years that I’ve been blessed to have Wacha in my life, we have worked to address some occasional random signs of aggression. No effort was spared in the attempt to help Wacha feel adjusted. After an incident a few months ago, numerous professionals led me to the conclusion that my home is simply not a good place for him. Keeping him here could be catastrophic for Ben and worse for Wacha.”
“The good news is that he now has a permanent home with his second family, in the place he lived every single time I went out of town,” Cohen shared. “He is thriving. We still see each other, but a piece of my heart is gone. I miss his weight on top of me first thing in the morning. I miss him waiting for me in front of the shower. And I miss the sound of his paws on the floor when I come home.”
He concluded, “I am not the same person I was when I got him. My dog changed me. He opened me up to love … to caring … and ultimately to having a family. When I think of him — let’s be honest, when don’t I think of him — it’s with the clarity that we were meant to come into each other’s lives exactly when we did, and that he’s happy, which gives me peace of mind. We did rescue each other. Thank you, Wacha.”
A rep for Cohen declined to comment.
