The Pulp Fiction Coffee House family and much of Kelowna is in mourning after community dog Robbie passed away early Saturday morning. 

"It was 2:00 in the morning and he started crying. I grabbed my pillow and blanket, and laid down beside him and he died at 4:00 a.m.,"  said Pulp Fiction owner Max Sloan. 

Robbie the black fluffy Poodle has been a part of Pulp Fiction since its inception. 

"Since day one he has been here. He was always with me 24 hours a day, everyday since he was just a baby," Sloan said. 

Hundreds of community members have taken to social media to share their deepest sympathies.

"Thankful to have had the ability to refer to your place as "Robbie's Coffee Shop" for the years we did, and that my daughter always knew where we were going. My girl especially loved the hide-and-seek game with him, such a good memory with your boy," one Facebook post read. 

"I knew he was loved but I had no idea. It just blows me away. We have had flowers and cards and over 230 comments on Facebook," Sloan added. 

No dog will ever replace Robbie, but Pulp Fiction says eventually another black standard poodle will be sitting by the book store greeting all who walks in.

"We would never ever consider changing the name of Robbie Rare Books. It will aways be Robbie Rare Books," Sloan added.
