Moshe Ndiki, actor and TV personality recently shared that he has lost his puppy, Sugar Ndiki and is mourning its death. Taking to social media, he wrote about how it has been difficult dealing with the death of Sugar.
“I’ve been going through the most the past two days, trying to put it aside just for me to work and saying to myself I’ll grieve on Sunday,” he wrote.
“Baby, I love you so much @sugarndiki. I love you and hope the other side treats you well. Glad to have loved you, known you, and been your dad and mom.”
He shared his heartbreak with the rest of his followers and messages of condolences flooded in. Instead of doing what other people are known to do when their pets die. Moshe took another route and organised a proper funeral for Sugar, attended by his family and friends.

“So many memories, you’ve been my first born, and what a pity you couldn’t meet your sibling. I’m shattered and I’m asking myself, ndiyintoni ngaphandle kwakho Sugar (What will I be without you Sugar).
I love you sana lwam. Funeral and proper arrangements will be made soon,” Moshe added.
On June 28, Moshe buried his puppy surrounded by close friends and family in a private opulent all-white ceremony. Hosted by celebrity eventing company, Nono Events.
Sharing pictures and footage from the event, Moshe thanked people for sharing their heartfelt condolences.
“#RIPsugarsosweetfuneral arrangements made. Rest east baby. Thank you Nono Events for making it more bearable, sending my pup off in a way that he would definitely loved, love you ke sweety.”
Speaking about his loss, Moshe tells Drum he had his Toy Pomeranian breed for five years.
“He passed away almost a week ago after being bitten by a pitbull. I decided to have a lavish funeral, why not? People do it for their loved ones, their kids, and their parents and why can’t I do it for my pet?
He mentions that Sugar was a constant in his life. “I loved him. I don’t see a reason why not and I don’t see anything wrong,” he said.
People on social media were commenting that he could have spent his money elsewhere. Moshe says people will always talk about whether you do good or bad.
“People are people and it’s in their nature to talk and to react to things they are not familiar with. I have never been to a dog funeral, it was my first time attending and organising one. But it is not about critics. People like to set a certain standard for using their own standards.”
Moshe’s puppy is buried in his hometown of East London. Also, he is not sure whether he would get another puppy anytime soon.
