When Tammy died, the author vowed to adopt more pets.

“I will get another dog that needs a home and it will remind me every day how much I miss you,” she wrote in an Instagram tribute to Tammy, who died after a bout of renal failure.

After being adopted from a kill shelter at the age of 9, Chunk became Handler’s constant companion, a permanent fixture in her dressing rooms and even the cover star of her book Chelsea Chelsea Bang Bang. Between his Twitter and Facebook accounts, the German shepherd-Chow mix had 170,000 adoring followers of his own.

“I don’t know who did my hair this day (probably me) but I know that this pic of chunk epitomizes how deeply dignified he was. We were a couple,” she captioned a photo with the pup on Thursday, the same day he died. “Thank you for your outpouring of affection.”

In a previous Instagram post announcing Chunk’s death, Handler recalled how much he loved attention from his fans.
