The scrappy dog known as Eddie on TV's "Frasier" has died.

The 16-year-old Jack Russell terrier, whose real name was Moose, passed away of old age Thursday at the Los Angeles home of trainer Mathilde Halberg, Halberg told People magazine.

The canine character Eddie drove Kelsey Grammer's lead character crazy for 10 years on the show.

Moose was naturally "extremely mischievous," Halberg said.

Moose also played the older dog Skip in 2000 film "My Dog Skip" and was retired in recent years.
