Music News: Cocoa, The Tour Dog of Reggae Band Stick Figure, Passes Away At 14

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!
