Betty White's beloved dog, "Poncho," was adopted by Betty White's assistant, Kiersten Mikkelsen, after Betty's passing in December 2021.
Mikkelsen had been close to White for many years and was a devoted caregiver to Poncho. She continued to provide the same loving care that Betty had given him throughout his life.
Mikkelsen's adoption of Poncho ensured that the beloved dog remained in a familiar and loving environment. This decision was widely praised by fans and animal lovers alike, as it allowed Poncho to continue living a happy and comfortable life.
