My heart breaks for Raelynn. The singer and previous Voice contestant revealed on social media that her beloved service dog Jazz has passed away.

Raelynn has diabetes and Jazz was trained to alert her of dangerous blood sugar levels according to Taste of Country.

Jazz developed cancer in his mouth and every few months they’d have the tumor removed. Unfortunately it got beyond that point and on Monday he crossed the rainbow bridge.

My dog passed away three years ago from cancer and I think about him every day. I even have a tattoo of his derpy little face. Cancer is the worst.

Today me and Josh lost our boy Jazz. Me and this Dog have traveled the world together. I’ve never felt so loved or protected by an animal in my life. When josh was gone Jazz’s presence always made me feel ok and protected. I’m gonna miss his kisses, sleeping by me at airports, walking with him and josh, getting woken up by him and Dolly, I’m gonna miss him never leaving my sight when he was with me but most of all I’m gonna miss his sweet heart and presence. I’m broken hearted. I wish dogs could live forever. I’m praying for peace. I am thankful that he has no more pain. He fought cancer for over a year. I am so proud of him and thankful that God picked me and Josh to be his parents on earth. I love you Jazz. You are my bud. I will never not think about how amazing and special you were to me and Josh. I love you so so so much. I wish I could see your precious face one more time. I miss you so much. 💔
