On Saturday, December 3, the owner of Noodle the pug, Jonathan Graziano, announced that his beloved dog died on Friday at the age of 14. The pup rose to fame when Graziano started posting their morning ritual on TikTok where he would gently lift the dog up in the morning to see if Noodle would get up and out of bed or stay put. If Noodle got up, the day was declared a "Bones Day" - a day of productivity - and if he stayed in bed, it was a "No Bones Day", or a day to rest and be kind to yourself. .

"Hi everyone. I'm so sorry. I'm so sorry to have to share this, but Noodle passed away yesterday," Graziano shared with fans of his dog in an Instagram video. “He was at home. He was in my arms. And it's incredibly sad. It's incredibly difficult. , and I wanted to encourage you to celebrate it as we navigate this sadness."

Graziano continued, "He lived 14 and a half years, which is about as long as you would expect for a dog. And he made millions of people happy. What a ride. Thanks for the love. Thanks for hugging us. And give your dog a ball of cheese tonight, but it must be fake."

The beloved pug owner also added a heartfelt caption to his emotional video announcement. "It has been the privilege of my life to care for Noodle for the past 7 years," he wrote. "The nicest man that ever existed and will ever exist."

Noodle's predictions quickly captured the internet, with some people even letting the pug decide the direction of their day. Earlier this year, Graziano published a children's book called "Noodle and the No Bones Day" which aimed to help children understand the importance of taking time for themselves. Through it all, Noodle and his charming personality have continued to captivate his fans around the world.

Shortly after his passing was announced, other famous pets and their owners began sending their condolences to Graziano and paying their respects to Noodle. The owner of Magnus the Therapy Dog commented on the post, writing, "So sorry for your loss
