You may be familiar with the well-known pug by the name of Noodle if you frequently use TikTok. Millions of people loved Noodle, but he tragically passed recently.
Noodle's dad, Jonathan Graziano, announced his passing in a heartbreaking video on TikTok.
"Hi everyone. I am so sorry. I'm so sorry to have to share this, but Noodle passed yesterday. He was at home. He was in my arms. And, this is incredibly sad. It's incredibly difficult. It's a day that I always knew was coming, but never thought would arrive. And, although this is very sad, I wanted to let you know and I wanted to encourage you to celebrate him while we're navigating this sadness." he said.
Noodle became popular online when his dad started recording a daily "bones test" with him. It was a "bones day" if Noodle stood when his dad lifted him and a "no bones day" if Noodle plopped back down.
Noodle's daily bones test became such a viral hit that a children's book was made out of it. According to Jonathan, the pug lived 14.5 years and made "millions of people" happy during his time on earth.
@jongraz It has been the privilege of my life to care for Noodle these past 7 years. The sweetest man there has ever been and will ever be. ❤️
