We have tragic news to share. Kanzi passed away yesterday afternoon at the age of 44. We are awaiting necropsy results, and we will be updating everyone once we know more. Kanzi was his normal, happy self yesterday and did not exhibit any signs of discomfort or illness. He foraged for his breakfast and spent the morning chasing Teco through the tower. After enjoying enrichment surprises in the greenhouse, Kanzi and Nyota laid down for a grooming session. Shortly after, the staff noted that Kanzi was unresponsive. Upon examination, Kanzi did not have a heartbeat or any evidence of respiration. Although we will not know the cause of death until we receive the necropsy results, Kanzi was being treated for heart disease, and he participated in regular ECGs and blood pressure monitoring.

Our team is absolutely devastated. We are focused on ensuring Kanzi’s bonobo family members and human caregivers receive the care and support that they need. We ask for time and patience as we grieve the passing of our dearest friend, Kanzi. Kanzi means so much to so many people. We have been working with Wildstar Films on an exclusive documentary about Kanzi’s life and the impact he has had on the world. We will share more details as we are able, and we thank you for your support during this extremely difficult time. The world lost a treasure.

"In this life, you're meant to have one great dog," I said.

"One that shifts something deep inside you, in a way you never saw coming. He shows up maybe when you need him most, maybe when you're too lost to see it. And in the smallest, most ordinary moments, he changes you."

I paused thinking of all the nights, I trudged through, feeling like I was carrying the weight of the world alone.
"He's the one who brings you back, makes it bearable when you're tethering on the edge. He doesn't try to explain or preach. He just stays there, showing you a kind of love you didn't think existed."

And that's the thing about that one great dog, he makes you question how you ever got by without him. You look at him, lying there, and realize he's given you more than any person ever has - no big speeches, just a presence, that says I'm here with you. And somehow that's enough to change everything.
