So sad for him and his family. But I give them huge credit and appreciation for announcing it. The more public attention and experience with this disease, the better for those who have it.0

I've watched his show a few times and thought something was awry. He's ask someone else on the show about an animal he was getting ready to talk about. Also noticed that his wife was answering a lot of the questions when they were on a show in another country looking at animals. So sad for him. This is really a heartbreaking disease for any and everyone involved.0
