US alpine skiing legend Lindsey Vonn has been enjoying several snowy ski sessions with a variety of people lately. The Olympic gold medalist is also actively sending out messages to big celebs like Kim Kardashian for skiing tips and lessons. However, her latest escapade saw her enjoying the company of an unexpected and special friend.

Lindsey Vonn recently added a new social media post and wished a happy birthday to her close friend Chelsea Handler. While Vonn was cheering for the special day of the comedian, something completely different was amusing her. In fact, the special friend drew more attention from Vonn than the birthday girl.

When Lindsey Vonn had her heart melted 

The Instagram post added by Lindsey Vonn carried the caption, “Happy birthday Chels!! So happy I got to ski a few runs with you ❤️ and I love your new rescue Doug… reminds me of my boy Bear that I lost.” Lindsey Vonn also shared several pictures on her post. But, while the birthday girl shared the frame with Vonn in just the first image, Doug was on the remaining four. Apparently, Bear, whom Vonn lost in January 2022, also had the same soft black fur. Moreover, he also carried the same adorable looks.

Hence, it must have been very great for Lindsey Vonn to refresh her memories connected to her dear departed. Vonn is a bona fide dog mom and used to take good care of her critters. Interestingly, she also adopted more pups in her family alongside Bear to keep her company. In fact, while Bear is gone, she still has three furballs to share a home with.
