Telling all of us who loved the senior Shih Tzu that she passed away peacefully and painlessly in her home on Thursday, Braha shared that Marnie let her know that she was ready.
Marnie became an Insta Darling, earning her fame because she was just as cute as she could be. She had soulful and expressive eyes, a cocked head and a drooping tongue that fans couldn’t get enough of.
She was an author…

And recently, she’d just become a proud ‘big sister’ to a sweet senior rescue, Gilda.

The post sharing Marnie’s passing included Braha’s gratitude for being able to share Marnie with the world, and to bring so much joy into so many lives with her antics. She said she couldn’t believe that the ‘hot mess of a pup,’ she adopted from the shelter when Marnie was 11-years-old ended up inspiring so many others to adopt senior dogs as well.
There weren’t too many grand expectations that Marnie would live as long as she did, and the post shared how inspirational Marnie’s legacy was in this world, as she encouraged others to adopt senior dogs as well.
Rest in peace, sweet Marnie, and thank you for showing the world how amazing special needs and senior dogs are!
