Last night, Zac Efron posted a touching goodbye to his dog, Puppy, on Instagram.

Efron uploaded an adorable photo to mark the loss of his best friend. He quoted fitting lyrics from Chance the Rapper's "Finish Line / Drown" in his tribute.

Through thick and thin you've always been my best friend. I'll see you at the finish line, RIP Puppy Efron. 🙏🏽👼 "Felt hog tied ever since my dog died/ He lived to 84, damn, that's a long ride/ I know he up there he just sit and he wait/ I'll be racing up the stairs I'mma get to the gate singing" 🎶 -Chance the Rapper
