Kenny Chesney Spreads Beloved Dog’s Ashes

Kenny Chesney lost his beloved dog, Ruby, in December, and he just posted to Instagram a photo of him spreading the dog's ashes on the West Coast.

Kenny posted along with the somber image of himself spread ashed in swim trunks, a hoodie, and a beach hat in his bare feet by the ocean, "Spreading Ruby's love on the West Coast. @darubagirl."

Many fans reacted to Chesney's sweet post, including one who wrote, "At least she will always be there looking out on the water and watching the sun rise and set every day." Another fan commented, "Awwww, bless her and you!" One more fan said, "I'm so sorry."

The touching post was liked by almost 50,000, including Kenny's tour buddy Kelsea Ballerini.

In December (12/4), Chesney shared his sorrow over losing his beloved dog Da Ruba Girl.

Kenny posted a photo of his pitbull, writing in a lengthy post, "Today we lost Da Ruba Girl. Ruby lived her life never holding anything against anybody. She had an ancient, calming soul. She was honest and authentic; she was a protector; she took a warrior's path in the journey of her life. Ruby loved the sun and how it felt on her face. She and I had that in common. Today I know Ruby is sitting somewhere with the sun on her face, happy and grateful to have slipped her skin and body that was full of cancer."

He continued, "I know she is happy to have had Poncho in her life. They were partners in crime and never spent a day apart. But she is forever grateful that Mary saved her from the shelter. But really, they ended up saving each other. I'm going to miss her, especially in the mornings. That's when she and I really connected. So bye-bye, Ruby. You were a very good girl. We loved you, and thank you for teaching us how to love unconditionally. You were one heaven of a dog. "She'll be known all over the world… as Da Ruba Girl."
