Throughout Season 14, Erin Reagan (Bridget Moynahan) has faced numerous challenges, and her supporters are more crucial than ever. From allegations of witness tampering in “Life Sentence” to investigating cases that her family is also involved with, Erin has had a tough time. Fortunately, friends like Anthony Abetemarco (Steve Schirripa) have been by her side to lend a helping hand when things get tough.

As “Blue Bloods” approaches its final chapter, Erin finds herself yearning for a joyful resolution. However, the canine star who plays Willieboy has already found his own – thanks to the guidance of a familiar figure. If you find that dog looks somewhat recognizable, it’s because he is Schirripa’s real-life pet, also known as Willieboy. This adorable pup has gained internet fame on numerous occasions due to his close association with Schirripa and his frequent appearances – even at a New York Yankees baseball game. Moreover, Willieboy’s popularity isn’t just about his insatiable appetite for human food. He is renowned for it!

Steve Schirripa’s dog, Willieboy, has gained notoriety for his stylish outfits, boasting an extensive collection ranging from raincoats to Yankees jerseys and smart suits. However, it was Willieboy’s voracious appetite that brought him viral fame in March. As shown in one of Schirripa’s Instagram posts, the dog is seen tearing apart a massive submarine sandwich with his teeth. Despite Schirripa’s attempts to feed him pasta with a fork, Willieboy seems more keen on devouring his sandwich instead.

That one viral video has helped drive hundreds of people to Schirripa’s Instagram, and he has continued to chronicle Willie’s life there. He and Willie even co-promoted the dog’s “Blue Bloods” debut on the platform. Whether it’s helping the actor throw out the first ball at a New York Boulders game or impersonating a hungry bunny for Easter, Willieboy and Schirripa have definitely made themselves well-loved faves on the streets of New York City and beyond.
