It is with a very heavy heart that we announce the passing of Chunk, the Cancer Support Frenchie that our nonprofit, Grey’s Superhero Foundation, donated to Leukemia warrior, Zoee Foster.
Chunk was a rock and a beacon of light for Zoee during the time she needed him most. He brought comfort, companionship, laughter, and love through her most difficult days, fighting the hardest battle of her life.
Chunk not only supported Zoee, he became a very important part of the entire family, carving out a special place in all of their hearts. He brought them comfort, laughter, and joy during a time when peace was hard to find and laughter and joy wouldn’t otherwise have been possible.
Perhaps unexpectedly, Chunk also brought much-needed companionship and connection to Zoee’s mom, Traci. I was blessed to be gifted a front-row seat to his place in her heart last year during Chunk’s medical journey. I’m not entirely sure if the depth of their bond was evident on social media, but it was to those of us who got to witness it.
I still remember when I first grasped the weight of their relationship, sitting at the UF Animal Hospital ER with Chunk in my arms. I realized that he wasn’t only there for Zoee. He was there for Traci, too.
And then it hit me for the first time just how much Chip had been there for me during Grey’s cancer journey. I hadn’t even realized it until that moment.
While it’s true that Chunk’s life was short, thanks to Zoee’s wise words, there is some peace and closure surrounding his peaceful passing. Chunk was there when Zoee needed him most, and now that she is back on her feet, his mission here on Earth is complete. She pictures him happily in heaven with her grandfather, where he is in perfect health and can play and run as much as he wants and eat all of the chocolate he wants.
What mattered most to Chunk, and what matters most to Zoee’s family, and all of those who love and support her is that she is still here with us. I envision Chunk smiling down on Zoee and her family from Heaven, knowing that he did his part. I like to imagine that was the deal he accepted before his soul ever came to this Earth: that he would be here for a short time, with a very important mission to be her Cancer Support Dog.
Rest in peace, sweet Chunk. You were the bestest, most goodest boy, and you will never be forgotten. Your mission is not only complete, you surpassed expectations.
Thank you for your service. 🙏
🕊️ Chunk Foster 1/16/24 - 9/10/26 🕊️
