Lindsey Vonn made history when she finished her comeback season with a second-place finish in a World Cup super-G race – but the legendary skier is also leaving Sun Valley with a heavy heart.
Lucy, Vonn’s 9-year-old Cavalier King Charles spaniel – and loyal travel companion – has failing kidneys. The skier, 40, admitted the prognosis wasn’t good before she headed to her home in Utah to be with Lucy.

‘I’ve got to go figure it out… I need all the luck I can get,’ said Vonn, who has two other dogs, Leo and Jade.
The 40-year-old was looking forward to relaxing on the beaches of the Bahamas following an exhausting season. But Lucy’s diagnosis changed her vacation plans. The ski star previously revealed that ‘the only time I fly private is with my dogs’ and Lucy has long been a world traveler with Vonn.
Three months ago, in Copper Mountain, Colorado, Lucy lounged around in her comfy bed inside the warm lodge waiting for her owner to return from training.
Vonn brought Leo with her to Sun Valley. She announced on Instagram in November that Leo had been diagnosed with cancer. But two months later, Vonn revealed that Leo ‘graduated from chemo treatment’.
