Chelsea Handler Shares Hilarious Airplane Incident with Late Dog Chunk – A Heartfelt Tribute

 Comedian and television host Chelsea Handler recently opened up about a hilarious yet chaotic incident that occurred while traveling with her beloved late dog, Chunk. In a heartfelt recollection, Handler shared details about a particularly memorable flight experience that left both her and Chunk in a bit of a predicament.

Handler, known for her love of animals, was very close to her rescue dog Chunk, a German Shepherd-Chow mix, whom she adopted in 2009. Chunk became a regular feature on her social media, often appearing in her posts and interviews. In a recent podcast interview, Handler took a trip down memory lane and reflected on a wild airplane encounter that still stands out in her mind.

According to Handler, the incident happened during one of her many travels with Chunk. While Handler had taken the necessary steps to make sure her four-legged companion was allowed to accompany her on the flight, things didn't go as smoothly as planned. Chunk, as loyal and sweet as he was, didn’t always adhere to the rules of in-flight behavior.

“He was kind of a nut, but in the best way possible,” Handler joked. She explained that Chunk, who was sitting in the airplane's cabin with her, became overwhelmed by the environment, leading to what Handler called a “whack” situation.

In a candid and humorous manner, Handler recounted how Chunk had decided to suddenly leap out of his seat and cause a minor ruckus. Chunk's unexpected leap led to a moment of panic as passengers and crew tried to figure out how to control the situation. While the details of the incident were comical in hindsight, Handler admitted it was a stressful moment at the time.

Despite the chaos, Handler maintained her sense of humor throughout the experience, laughing off the incident later. She fondly remembered Chunk’s larger-than-life personality, even in the confines of an airplane cabin. Handler’s recollection was filled with warmth and a touch of sadness, as she reminisced about Chunk, who passed away in 2018.

Handler’s bond with Chunk was well-known to her fans, and the story serves as a reminder of the special connection she shared with her furry friend. Handler has continued to be an advocate for rescue dogs, frequently encouraging her followers to consider adopting animals in need.

Though Chunk is no longer by her side, stories like this one keep his memory alive, reminding fans of the joy and laughter he brought not only to Handler's life but to the lives of everyone who knew him.
