Noodle, the popular TikTok pug who was sometimes boneless, has died. The 14-year-old dog’s death was announced in a tearful one-minute TikTok video posted by owner Jonathan Graziano over the weekend.
“I’m so sorry to share this, but Noodle passed yesterday,” Graziano said. “He was at home, he was in my arms, and this is very sad. It’s very difficult. It’s a day that I knew was coming but I didn’t think it would come, and even though this is very sad I wanted to let you know and I wanted to encourage you to make him happy as we face this sadness.”

Noodle became popular in 2021 thanks to a series of daily TikToks by Graziano, in which he picked up a pug and put it on his feet. If Noodle stood up it was “Bones Day,” but if the old dog passed out, it was considered “Boneless Day.”
TikTok users soon began to see Noodle’s actions as fortune telling, like checking their horoscope. Although they consider Bone Days to be good and beneficial, no Bone Days are meant to be difficult.
“He lived 14 and a half years, which is as long as you can expect a dog to live, and he made millions of people happy,” Graziano said. “What a rush. Thank you for loving him, thank you for hugging us, and giving your dog cheese tonight. But it must be fake stuff.”
Graziano’s TikTok account he got 4.5 million followers who want to see if the old pug can fall every day.
