C'est une nouvelle qui a ému la toile. Boo le poméranien, surnommé «le chien le plus mignon du monde», est décédé, le vendredi 18 janvier, à l'âge de 12 ans. Le petit poméranien était une véritable star sur les réseaux sociaux et comptait 16,2 millions de fans sur Facebook. Le chien nounours était souvent accompagné de son frère aîné Buddy, décédé en 2017. Selon son propriétaire, la mort de Boo a été causée par des problèmes cardiaques peu après le décès de son frère. «Notre famille a le cœur brisé, mais nous sommes réconfortés de savoir qu'il n'éprouve plus aucune douleur», a-t-il annoncé vendredi soir. View this post on Instagram Dearest friends of Boo, With deepest sadness I wanted to share that Boo passed away in his sleep early this morning and has left us to join his best friend, Buddy. Our family is heartbroken, but we find comfort knowing that he is no longer in any pain or discomfort. We know that Buddy was the first to greet him on the other side of that rainbow bridge, and this is likely the most excited either of them have been in a long time. Since starting Boo's FB page, I've received so many notes over the years from people sharing stories of how Boo brightened their days and helped bring a little light to their lives during difficult times. And that was really the purpose of all this…Boo brought joy to people all over the world. Boo is the happiest dog I've ever met. He was so easy going that we never had to bother with training. He made the manliest of men squeal with delight over his cuteness and made everyone laugh with his quirky, tail wagging personality. Over the years Boo met some super cool people, a lot of crazy talented people, but most of all so many kind people…friends who gave him endless love, people who prioritized his comfort over getting that perfect picture, partners who understood that Buddy ALWAYS had to be included, and last but definitely not least, the amazing doctors, therapists, and staff at Adobe Animal Hospital and Sage Veterinary Centers for the countless hours of care and dedication they poured into Buddy and Boo. I brought Boo home in the spring of 2006 and so started the greatest, most heartwarming friendship of all time. 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. Boo, we love you with all our hearts and will miss you until the day we meet again. Have fun running around with Buddy and creating adorable mischief wherever you guys go. Thank you to all of you for following along on their silly adventures over the past 10 years. They sure had a LOT of fun. With love and our deepest gratitude, Boo's humans A post shared by Buddy Boo Blue Benny (@buddyboowaggytails) on Jan 18, 2019 at 6:29pm PST Dans un long post, son maître a rappelé à quel point Boo «faisait hurler de joie le plus viril des hommes» et «faisait rire tout le monde avec sa personnalité décalée ». Le propriétaire de Boo a révélé à quel point la dernière année avait été pénible pour le petit chien. « Peu de temps après la mort de Buddy, Boo a montré des signes de problèmes cardiaques. Nous pensons que son cœur s'est littéralement brisé lorsque Buddy nous a quittés. Il s'est accroché et nous a donné plus d'un an. Mais on dirait que c'était son heure, et je suis sûr que ce fut un moment des plus joyeux pour eux lorsqu'ils se sont vus au paradis ». Durant sa petite vie de chien, Boo a publié son propre livre intitulé Boo: le chien le plus mignon du monde.
