LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: Ana Navarro has often expressed her love for her dog, her husband, and margaritas.

This has been largely evident from her social media, although her love for her dog, ChaCha, really shines through.

‘The View’ co-host has often posted about her dog, mentioned him on the talk show, and even brought him along with her on set.

Navarro lives in Miami and travels back and forth to co-host ‘The View,’ and sometimes, ChaCha accompanies her.

Navarro’s fans love any content with ChaCha and Navarro, but this time around, ‘The View’ co-host has left her fans heartbroken as she takes a flight without her dog, and expresses that the process has been "traumatic."

‘Damn leaving that dog is traumatic’

As ‘The View’s summer hiatus continues, Navarro is starting the next part of her summer vacation, after spending the first few days in the Hamptons.

Although Navarro hasn’t mentioned where she going next, she posted a selfie from the flight with her husband, Al Cardenas, in the background.

Navarro captioned the post, And we’re off! I know @chacha_cardenas is sleeping in her little bed, and in very good hands with the loving woman who works at our house, but damn leaving that dog is traumatic. I don’t know how any of you with babies ever leave the house.✈️”
