Al Roker Shares Sad News “Our Hearts Are Heavy”

In 2012, Roker and his spouse, writer Deborah Roberts, took in Pepper from a shelter in Pennsylvania.

Fans of Roker have long adored Pepper, who frequently makes appearances on the anchor’s social media platforms.

Roker did not provide a cause of death, although last month Pepper had emergency surgery. Roker missed a Today show episode because his dog was recovering. Prayers and support for Pepper were many.

Deborah Roberts stated at the time, “We are grateful for any and all prayers for our sweet doggie who has stolen our hearts for 12 years now.”

When Pepper made an appearance on Today in March 2020, during the early stages of the Covid-19 outbreak, as Roker checked in from home, it was possibly the most memorable moment for many

With the dog curled up in his lap, Roker said to Hoda Kotbe, “Pepper says she wants wants to lick your face, but will do it socially distant.”

“Watching you pet that dog makes me feel better,” Kotbe retorted.
