Cocoa, a rescued Australian Shepherd, has become a beloved member of the reggae band Stick Figure. She was adopted by the band's leader, Scott Woodruff. Cocoa has been a constant presence on tour, participating in concerts and connecting with fans.
In 2024, Stick Figure and author Adam Mansbach released "Cocoa the Tour Dog," a children's book. The book tells the story of Cocoa's adventures on the road with the band. A portion of the proceeds goes to The Cocoa Foundation, which supports rescued dogs and promotes responsible adoption.
During the "Island Holiday Summer Tour 2025," Cocoa continues to be a part of the shows. Her entrance onto the stage, often with a giant plush carrot, delights the audience. These spontaneous moments have become an anticipated part of the show. Cocoa has over 268,000 followers on social media, sharing her travel adventures and moments with fans.
Cocoa's story shows the strong bond between humans and animals. The band takes precautions to ensure Cocoa's comfort and safety. Cocoa the Tour Dog brings joy to the music scene and reminds everyone that magic can be found in unexpected places.
