Actor Zac Efron has paid a heartfelt tribute to his dog Puppy, who recently died.

The actor announced the news of Puppy’s passing on Twitter and Instagram on Thursday.

“Through thick and thin you’ve always been my best friend. I’ll see you at the finish line, RIP Puppy Efron,” Efron captioned a picture of them together.

In addition, the actor quoted Chance the Rapper’s song Finish Line.

“Felt hog tied ever since my dog died. He lived to 84, damn, that’s a long ride. I know he just sits up there and he wait. ‘I’ll be racing up the stairs I’mma get to the gate singing’ — Chance the Rapper,” he added.

Efron posted the first picture of Puppy in April 2012 after getting the Australian Shepherd on Christmas 2011.

Efron has another Australian Shepherd named Dreamer, and adopted a dog, Chappelle, with his former girlfriend Sami Miro during their nearly two-year relationship.
