He continued, “She paved a way for me. I want to take a g** d*** pain pill so bad. I feel like if I did something to myself right now and passed away suicidal and I got to heaven and was like, ‘Hi honey,’ and would she go, ‘You d*** a** why would you do that?’"

As you know, Dog has also had his fair share of medical issues in the past few months after suffering a pulmonary embolism. But, he wants the world and his fans to know he is ALIVE and WELL!

Who Says These Nasty Things About Dog?

"I still can’t believe someone made this up this makes me so mad!!!" a person commented on Instagram.

"Who says these nasty things when someone is alive? OMG. This is not funny. My heart dropped! Jesus."

Dog's fans online put it perfectly on this one, "Wow! They have nothing better to do with their lives so they make up false stories about people for fun."
