Cesar Millan is not dead, contrary to a hoax report which claimed he died of a heart attack.

The report included a face of the famed Dog Whisperer along with a “RIP” and a bunch of dogs.

The report was started by a website purporting to be the Spanish news agency ProcesoMX, but is actually a fake website created to fool people.

The report was circulating widely on social media websites by unspuspecting fans.

The report quoted Cesar’s wife as telling reporters that, “I hope you can understand my loss, and I would appreciate if you can give us our space for our mourning.”

But the report isn’t true, so fans can rest safe knowing Cesar is still alive.

“RIP to Cesar Millan,” said one Twitter user.

“It’s a hoax right? Someone please tell me Cesar Millan is okay and not dead,” said another.

Junio Millan took to Facebook to clear the air.

“Reports of my Pack Leader’s untimely demise are greatly exaggerated. I can happily report he is safe, happy and healthy,” Junior said.

“I can also tell you he kept me up all night snoring, my breakfast was a little late but I did get a great morning walk. As Cesar keeps telling me: Exercise. Discipline. Affection. - the key to a long, balanced, and healthy life!”
