Chloe Chung has sparked quite a debate after revealing her decision to freeze-dry her late dog, MisTricks, who passed away from lymphoma in 2024. For Chung, the choice was less about shock value and more about keeping her furry friend close during her grieving process. As she waited at the crematorium, she found comfort in meeting with a pet preservationist, ultimately deciding on this unconventional route instead of cremation.

Despite the backlash she’s faced online, Chung remains unfazed, insisting that negative comments only amplify her story, reaching other pet owners who may feel uncertain about similar choices. She’s committed to pushing the conversation around pet grief and end-of-life options into the spotlight, helping people learn more about preserving their beloved companions. It seems she’s not just thawing a bond; she’s also defrosting the taboo around how we care for our pets even after they’ve said goodbye. Is anyone else curious about how far we’ll go in the name of love?
