Olympic skiing legend Lindsey Vonn just dropped a dose of pure feel-good content that’s lighting up feeds: heartwarming moments with her beloved Cavalier King Charles Spaniel, Chance, during a sun-soaked coastal escape on the French Riviera.
In a recent Instagram carousel posted around her 42nd birthday, Vonn shared scenes of the pair soaking up “a few more days of summer.” The photos capture Chance exploring rocky shores, posing proudly, riding along on a red Vespa, and curling up for cozy cuddles, all set against sparkling Mediterranean waters, cliffs, and golden sunlight that gives the images that unmistakable sunset-hour glow.
“Ok I lied… Chance and I managed to catch a few more days of summer….maybe I’ve just been in the wrong place all these years. And now I’m tired and happy,” Vonn captioned the post, a playful follow-up to an earlier note that summer was over.
The timing feels especially meaningful. Chance, adopted in August 2025 after the loss of her previous Cavalier Lucy, has been a constant source of comfort through Vonn’s recovery from a complex tibia fracture suffered in a crash at the 2026 Milano Cortina Olympics. Fans have repeatedly called him her recovery MVP—whether snuggling during tough days or tagging along on the road.
The coastal getaway also included time with her boyfriend, French alpine skier Matthieu Bailet, but it’s the easy, joyful bond with Chance that has drawn the warmest reactions. Celebrity friends like Chelsea Handler and Ashley Graham chimed in with playful comments, while fans flooded the post with hearts, calling the moments peaceful, healing, and proof that the sun always rises after darker chapters.
From snowy training sessions to rocky Mediterranean coves, Chance has become Vonn’s most reliable co-star—proof that sometimes the best medicine is a floppy-eared friend and a few extra golden-hour sunsets.
The post is classic Vonn: resilient, real, and unapologetically dog-obsessed.
