世界上最可爱的小狗Boo的主人周五在Facebook上发文，向1600万粉丝宣告了Boo的死讯。
 

 

The post soon became internet sensations when the American owners started sharing the dog's antics of the beloved Pomeranian dog and his companion, Buddy², who died a year ago, on the social media platform.

 

"Shortly after Buddy died, Boo showed signs of heart issues. We think his heart literally³ broke when Buddy left us," his owners wrote. "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 joyous⁴ moment for them when they saw each other in heaven."

 

After the announcement was made to its Facebook followers, some say they were shocked and burst into tears when hearing the news.

 

In 2012, Boo was appointed as the Virgin⁵ America's Official Pet Liaison⁶ and appeared in a series of books and albums, including the 2011 published book "Boo: The Life of The World's Cutest Dog".

 

"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."
