It’s all too easy to fall in love with a dog, even a famous one, who I seen many times
and the last time was at The Levitate Music Festival in Marshfield, MA in July 2035.
Cocoa the Tour dog and Stick Figure’s sixth member, who traveled with the group since
2013 and has shared the stage with Stick Figure, one of America’s famous Reggae
bands, died at 14. She passed away peacefully and was surrounded with love.
Cocoa, once a rescue dog and an Australian Shepherd/Golden Retriever mix, always
appeared at Stick Figure shows, either relaxing on stage or playing near the band.
“Last evening we said goodbye to Cocoa. She passed peacefully after one final sunset
walk on the beach at almost 15 years old. I’m beyond saddened, but I find deep comfort
in knowing @cocoathetourdog lived the best life any dog could ask for. She lived a life
of adventure, traveled the world, and brought smiles wherever she went.” said Scott
Woodruff, front man of Stick Figure.
Cocoa had a huge following of friends on social media, and she was loved by all. She
owned the stage and fed off the electricity of the large crowds at Stick figure’s arena
shows. She became part of Stick Figure’s identity and the experience.
COCOA, you did your job. Your Instagram account amassed 311,000 followers—more
than half the band’s own 579,000. Rest in peace; we will miss you forever!
