Chica is Mark's youngest pet dog. She is a Golden Retriever and was brought home on November 19, 2015.
Originally named Sephora by her previous caretakers at the shelter, Mark decided to rename his dog to something more appropriate, as he felt that a brand name did not suit her. He was advised to give her a name that ended in the same vowel as her last one. Mark used Chica as a placeholder before settling on the name after seeing how well she responded to it. Prior to this information, his viewers presumed that she was named after one of the animatronics from Five Nights at Freddy's.[2]
Chica occasionally joins Mark while recording, though she does not enjoy being picked up and shown on camera. She likes to play with Mark's equipment and various possessions, much to his displeasure, and tends to avoid large bodies of water.
On May 19, 2016, Mark had Chica spayed.[3] She recovered from the surgery a few days later.
Around September 2022, Chica contracted a minor infection and suffered a heat stroke, but recovered from both a few days later.[4]
