All Dogs Go to Heaven, But Some Pet Influencers Live Forever Online
Marnie the Dog, known for her tongue-lolling and goofy antics, emerged as a social media sensation among pet influencers around 2010. Her popularity soared, garnering her millions of Instagram followers, a book deal (“Marnie the Dog: I’m a Book”), and even an app called Marnie Pro that enabled users to add Marnie into any picture. However, this came to an end in 2020 when the rescued shih tzu, believed to be around 18 years old, passed away. Her former owner, Shirley Braha, a former MTV producer, was heartbroken. “She was so deeply in love with her,” Shirley shares now. “Marnie was extraordinary and exceptional – our bond was unforgettable.”
