He may have thanked his dogs in his Golden Globes acceptance speech, but he brought his beloved Chihuahua, Loki, to the awards ceremony at the Venice Film Festival in September. ''Loki is the love of my life,” he told The New York Times.
Mickey Rourke’s beloved Chihuahua, Loki, died on Monday night at the age of 17. Micky provided this heartfelt statement: “Loki is deeply missed but with me in spirit. I am very blessed she fell asleep peacefully in my arms.”
The Wrestler star strokes Loki on an Italian TV show in November. In a recent interview he said that he likes little dogs because you can hold them close, smell their fur and feel their hearts beating.

To tell the truth, I never cared for Mickey Roarke much until now. Any man that can love his dog like he did is a good man and one I can admire and respect. I am so very sorry for his loss. Little Loki had a nice long like — a tribute to his care from Mickey — so I believe that Loki is now Mickey’s guardian angel.
