Boo, The ‘World’s Cutest Dog’ Dies Of Heart Break

The world’s cutest dog, Boo, a social media famous Pomeranian, has died of a broken heart, his owners said.

The Pomeranian Boo and his companion Buddy, who died last year, became internet sensations when their American owners started sharing pictures of their adorable antics.

Boo’s death was confirmed in a post made by his owners to his 16 million Facebook followers. He was 12 years old, in human years.

In a post shared on Facebook, his owners said: “Shortly after Buddy died, Boo showed signs of heart issues. We think his heart literally broke when Buddy left us. He hung on and gave us over a year. But it looks like it was his time, and I’m sure it was a most joyous moment for them when they saw each other in heaven.

“Our family is heartbroken, but we find comfort knowing that he is no longer in any pain or discomfort,” they added, noting that Boo “brought joy to people all over the world.”

In addition to his social media presence, Boo was appointed as Virgin America’s Official Pet Liaison in 2012. He also had a book deal, appearing in photo books including “Boo: The Life of the World’s Cutest Dog,” which was published in 2011.
