He was a large, black fluffy pet who travelled with the family as they lived in extreme conditions – such as zero degree temperatures in Alaska.

During the October 17th episode, the family were seen devastated about the loss of their pet companion. Reality Titbit discovered how their dog died.

Who was Mr Cupcake the dog?

Mr Cupcake was a Belgian Tervuren, known as a sheepdog.

He was thought to be intelligent, obedient, protective and family-oriented.

Bird and Rain were especially close to the family pet, who was a young puppy when he became part of the Browns.

Before he became the tenth member of the wolf pack, Mr Cupcake melted Billy Brown’s heart, who had been looking for a pet for his little girl.

The dog, who the family got in 2015, has ran wild and caused havoc for the Discovery production team!

Mr Cupcake also saw Bear Brown as one of his favourite chew toys…

How did Mr Cupcake die?

Mr Cupcake “just didn’t wake up” one day, according to Bird.

The Brown family heard three shots, which Bear revealed always signifies an emergency, before Bird began crying and saying the dog is gone.

Some fans think he could have died due to the freezing cold weather conditions, but this has not been confirmed by the family.

I hope someone from the family sees this. Especially Bird and Rain. I wanted to express my condolences on the loss of Mr. Cupcake. I cried with y’all tonight. Remember All Dogs go to Heaven!#AlaskanBushPeople pic.twitter.com/2ibXMSGjnw
