Fans are sending an outpouring of prayers and well wishes to country singer Kelsea Ballerini today after she shared a vulnerable new video about her beloved Goldendoodle’s cancer diagnosis.

She shared the emotional update on her precious pup on TikTok and captioned the video with: “Thinking of everyone with a fur baby going through cancer tonight. Truly don’t know my adult life without my Dibby. He’s fighting so hard. I love him so much. Any love or healing energy you wanna send his way, please continue to. We really appreciate it ❤️”

As you will see, she’s heartbroken and sobbing in the clip, which will instantly put a lump in anyone’s throat — especially if you also have a dog who is your entire world.

Fans immediately took to the comments to send their prayers and words of encouragement for both Ballerini and Dibby.

One follower, Matt Zahn said, “Ya know what’s wild… our pups fight so hard for us all the time that even when they’re in pain, they comfort us. That’s the power of a dog… we are so lucky. Thinking of y’all ♥️- Matt & Ollie”

Another fan added, “This hurts my heart. Sending strength and prayers to your baby 🙏🏼❤”

Other words of support included:

“I’m sooo sorry, Kelsea. I feel the same way as you. My cat has cancer, and she has gotten me through it all like your pup has for you! Animals are sooo wonderful. They get us when people don’t. Sending you prayers! 🙏”

“Oh Dibby, praying for so much peace over your heart KB. His love for you will last you a lifetime, and he’s so lucky he got you as his human! 🫶🏼”

What kind of cancer does Dibby have?

Back in August of 2024, Ballerini shared on her Instagram story that Dibby was diagnosed with an inoperable tumor in his heart. The post was captured by The TODAY Show and explained:

“The last few days we have discovered that Dibby has inoperable cancer in his heart. He’s not in pain, and luckily, it hasn’t spread further. We’re going to start him on the ‘big’ meds to try to make sure he can have as many comfortable and happy days (weeks, months) left as possible.”

She also added, “It’s a complex and emotional time. He’s been my baby and my steady for the last nine years and very much alongside this whole journey with us all. I know so many of you care about him and are sending him prayers and love, and from my whole heart… thank you.”

Anyone who knows the unconditional love of a dog can totally empathize with what Ballerini must be going through right now. As the mom of a 12-year-old Shih-Tzu who is truly my heart and soul, I couldn’t help but tear up when I saw her update on Dibby this morning.

I’m right there with her fans in sending love, healing energy, and putting all of the positive vibes out into the universe for the two of them right now.
