In August 2018, country music songbird RaeLynn shared that her service dog, Jazz the German Shepherd, was diagnosed with cancer. RaeLynn’s service dog was trained to detect changes in the artist’s blood sugar levels due to Type 1 diabetes. After months of treatments and hoping for the best, the singer-songwriter took to Instagram to inform her fans of Jazz’s passing.
“Today me and Josh lost our boy Jazz. Me and this Dog have traveled the world together. I’ve never felt so loved or protected by an animal in my life. When josh was gone Jazz’s presence always made me feel ok and protected. I’m gonna miss his kisses, sleeping by me at airports, walking with him and josh, getting woken up by him and Dolly, I’m gonna miss him never leaving my sight when he was with me but most of all I’m gonna miss his sweet heart and presence. I’m broken hearted. I wish dogs could live forever. I’m praying for peace. I am thankful that he has no more pain. He fought cancer for over a year. I am so proud of him and thankful that God picked me and Josh to be his parents on earth. I love you Jazz. You are my bud. I will never not think about how amazing and special you were to me and Josh. I love you so so so much. I wish I could see your precious face one more time. I miss you so much. 💔,” RaeLynn shared in a heartfelt post along with multiple photos and videos.
Jazz came from Global K9 Protection Services in Nashville. The other members of Jazz’s ‘pack’ include RaeLynn’s husband, Josh Davis, and the couple’s Chihuahua, Dolly, who is named after music legend Dolly Parton.
In 2017, Jazz accompanied RaeLynn while she was on country music star Blake Shelton‘s Doing It to Country Songs Tour. As fans can recall, RaeLynn was on Team Blake when she appeared on The Voice‘s second season in 2012.
We wish RaeLynn and Josh the best as they recover from this loss. Share this news with other fans.
