Noodle’s owner, Jonathan Graziano, announced the dog’s passing in a heartbreaking video.

He said, “Hi everyone. I am so sorry. I’m so sorry to have to share this, but Noodle passed yesterday. He was at home. He was in my arms. And, this is incredibly sad. It’s incredibly difficult. It’s a day that I always knew was coming, but never thought would arrive. And, although this is very sad, I wanted to let you know and I wanted to encourage you to celebrate him while we’re navigating this sadness.”

It has been the privilege of my life to care for Noodle these past 7 years. The sweetest man there has ever been and will ever be. ❤️

Noodle first went viral when Jonathan began filming a daily “bones test” on the dog. Noodle’s owner would attempt to lift the dog, and if he stood, it was a “bones” day. If he plopped back down, it was a “no bones” day and things could get interesting.

Noodle’s daily bones test became such a hit that it even inspired a children’s book!

While it’s heartbreaking to hear of Noodle’s passing, it’s comforting to know that he touched so many lives and his legacy will continue to live on in people’s hearts.
