ALI Wentworth has revealed her dog Cooper has been left “traumatized” after he was attacked by deer following an escape from his home.
Blaming her husband, Good Morning America host George Stephanopolous, for leaving open the gate, the author – who has been battling coronavirus – revealed the devastating news and shared that after Cooper returned he “smelled like death”.

“Somebody – George – left the gate open and my beloved dog Cooper, the love of my life, escaped and was gone for four or five hours, and there was nothing we could do as we were quarantined,” said Ali.
“Then he came back and was covered in matted mud and algae and blood, and he smelled like death and hid under a pine tree for six hours shaking, like some kind of trauma [had happened], and we think some deers may have beaten him up.”
Speaking from her home on Live with Kelly and Ryan, she told hosts Kelly Ripa and Ryan Seacrest: “He’s never been the same since.”
But she admitted that she is not holding George fault, adding: “Upset is not the word, but it wasn’t his fault.”

Ali tested positive for coronavirus at the end of March and in mid-April opened up on the “brutal and scary time”.
Hours after husband George revealed he has tested positive, Ali shared a video of her news anchor husband clapping as she emerged down the stairs.
Ali admitted she knew she was “one of the lucky ones” as she revealed she was also “grateful to be back to everything” before joking: “Except laundry and dishes.”
She wrote in an emotional post: “Came out of 16 days of isolation. I am grateful for my health. It was a brutal and scary time.”

She added: “But I am one of the lucky ones. And as I continue to recover I am struck by what has become the dehumanization of this plague.
“People are dying. People are suffering. People are hungry. People are scared.
“We have to shed all ideological, religious, social, economic barriers and grabbed each other’s hands and move forward united. As people.”
