There’s no credible evidence that Dana Perino’s dog Percy was ever given just two days to live—or that his vets were stunned by some miraculous turn of events on day three. Here's what we do know based on verifiable information:
✅ Confirmed Facts
-
Percy, a small mixed-breed dog (part poodle, Pekingese, and Japanese Chin), occasionally appears alongside Dana Perino. Fans and colleagues have noted his charming antics, like “mimicking” commands on The Five tiktok.com+1timesgazette.com+1facebook.com.
-
Perino once rescued Percy as a puppy, but there's no record of any severe medical emergency with a 48-hour prognosis or dramatic recovery story reported by Perino or any veterinarian.
🚫 Unverified Claims
-
No interview, statement, or viral post indicates Percy was ever declared at death's door with a two-day survival window.
-
There's no public documentation—photos, vet records, or Perino's own accounts—mentioning any astonishing recovery or vet reaction on Day 3.
🧭 Bottom Line
Percy is clearly loved and occasionally shares the screen with his owner, but the highly emotive claim that he nearly died and then performed a miraculous turnaround appears to be unfounded and unsupported by reliable sources.
