Boo, World’s Cutest Dog, Dies Of Broken Heart After Best Buddy Passe
They say the only fault of dogs is that they don’t live long enough, and in this dog lovers all agree. The adorable little social media hit Pomeranian ‘Boo’ has died, and in social media posts sharing the news of his death, his humans say they believe that it was a broken heart over losing his furry brother Buddy in 2017.

In the post, his pet parents say that Boo’s heart issues first began after his adorable sidekick Buddy passed in September of 2017. Buddy and Boo shared 11 years together–thick as thieves and as close as dog brothers could be. After Buddy died, Boo’s heart showed signs of troubles, and he was able to live for a little over another year.

I am heartbroken to tell you that I said good-bye to my best friend, Buddy, yesterday. He had 14 full years, 11 of them…

In humans, there is a phenomenon that occurs sometimes after traumatic grief and loss. It’s called Takotsubo Cardiomyopathy, or ‘Broken-Heart Syndrome,’ and while often temporary, can lead to death.
Boo’s family says they are sure that when Boo passed in his sleep, he immediately went to Heaven and had a joyous reunion with his best pal Buddy.

They also thanked the staffs at Adobe Animal Hospital and Sage Veterinary Centers for their efforts with both Buddy and Boo.
Since Buddy passed, Boo’s been sharing his days with his other fur-siblings, and from their social media pictures, one can see that they will surely miss Boo too.
