"He was a one in a million kind of dog, he was my supaah staah."

While another heartbroken follower added: "Rest In Peace Cheddar, B99 won't be the same without you."
Cheddar was undeniably a huge part of Brooklyn Nine-Nine, with the pooch playing ring bearer at Jake (Andy Samberg) and Amy's (Melissa Fumero) wedding.
The four-legged character has been portrayed by a number of different doggos, but Stewart held the role for the longest, Entertainment Weekly reports.
