Zac Ephron Mourns Beloved Dog on Instagram

Zac Ephron took to Instagram this week to mourn the loss of his beloved dog.

The actor posted an adorable photo with the pooch Thursday night. Along with the photo, Ephron added a caption that read in part, “Through thick and thin, you’ve always been my best friend. RIP Puppy Ephron,” and concluded with lyrics from Chance The Rapper’s “Finish Line/Drown.”

Through thick and thin you've always been my best friend. I'll see you at the finish line, RIP Puppy Efron. 🙏🏽👼 "Felt hog tied ever since my dog died/ He lived to 84, damn, that's a long ride/ I know he up there he just sit and he wait/ I'll be racing up the stairs I'mma get to the gate singing" 🎶 -Chance the Rapper

The heartfelt goodbye wasn’t the first time Ephron has posted about the animal on social media. He first posted about the pup in 2012 on Twitter, and the dog has been a presence on his account ever since.

Here's the photo of Puppy I promised earlier. It's from last Christmas morning. Hilarious! Cheers & thanks again! http://t.co/e6o7TYUF
