TikTok's Noodle the Pug has died aged 14

TikTok sensation Noodle, the Pug who became famous for his "bones or no bones" predictions has sadly passed away.

The 14-year-old dog and owner Jonathan Graziano (@jongraz) amassed 4.5m followers on the platform after playing the "no bones" game each morning where Noodle would either stand up or plop back over onto his dog bed.

It would be declared a "no bones" day if Noodle flopped back to his bed, where Graziano explained it those days were for self-care and looking after yourself.
