Comedian Chelsea Handler, who tickled fans’ collective bone for years as host of the late-night talk show Chelsea Lately, was tickled pink to introduce her Instagram followers to her new fur baby, an eight month old rescue Chow Chow nicknamed Doug!
Since entering the spotlight, Handler has been a parent to several rescue dogs, including:
Tammy
A rescue chow who lived with the comedian for two years before crossing Rainbow Bridge in 2017, Handler paid tribute to her tail-wagging pal, who was often affectionately called Bear, writing: “Dogs give you something to you didn’t know it was missing. I love you, bear. Thank you for being such a girl, I will have another dog that needs a home and it will remind me every day how much I miss you.
