He had a popular Facebook page and was the subject of four photo-books.[1] As of March 2016, Boo had over 17.5 million likes on Facebook.{{cn|date=February 2019}} Boo was owned by Irene Ahn, a Facebook employee, who was also the owner of Boo's older brother, Buddy (died, September 6, 2017). Boo died on January 18, 2019 at age 12 due to a broken heart over Buddy’s death. PopularityBoo belonged to a San Francisco-based Facebook employee who created a Facebook page for the dog with the statement "My name is Boo. I am a dog. Life is good." He became popular in October 2010 after singer Kesha sent a tweet that she had a new boyfriend, linking to the page.[2] Chronicle Books, noticing that Boo had 5 million Facebook fans at the time, approached the owner to write a picture book. In August 2011, Boo: The Life of the World's Cutest Dog, written by his owner under the pen name J. H. Lee, was published. The book was eventually published in ten languages. A second book followed, Boo: Little Dog in the Big City, as well as a calendar and plans for a cut-out book and additional children's books. His other merchandise includes a Gund stuffed animal.[1]Health complications and deathBoo died in his sleep on the morning of January 18, 2019; his owners said that he had begun to show signs of heart trouble after Buddy's death, and they believed "his heart literally broke".[2][3] Media appearancesIn April 2012, Boo was the subject of a death hoax after #RIPBOO appeared on Facebook. Tweets followed as Gizmodo writer Sam Biddle tweeted that Boo had died. It was later confirmed by the Chronicle Book staff that Boo was alive and well.[4] In July 2012, Boo was named the Official Pet Liaison of Virgin America, which featured photos of him in an airplane along with advice for people traveling with pets.[1][5] He also modeled sunglasses for The Monocle Order, from the Blood and Tears line.[3] Mike Isaac of All Things Digital outed Boo's owner as Irene Ahn, a Facebook employee, in August 2012.[6][7][8] References1. ^1 2 {{cite news|url=http://www.sfgate.com/business/article/Boo-the-cutest-dog-on-the-planet-3796886.php|newspaper=San Francisco Chronicle|date=August 17, 2012|title=Boo, 'the cutest dog in the world'|author=Benny Evangelista|access-date=August 19, 2012|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120819195846/http://www.sfgate.com/business/article/Boo-the-cutest-dog-on-the-planet-3796886.php|archive-date=August 19, 2012|dead-url=no|df=}} 2. ^{{cite journal |url=https://people.com/pets/boo-the-pomeranian-dies/ |title=Boo the Pomeranian, Once Named the World's Cutest Dog, Dies |first=Karen |last=Mizoguchi |date=January 18, 2019 |access-date=January 19, 2019 |journal=People |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190119093603/https://people.com/pets/boo-the-pomeranian-dies/ |archive-date=January 19, 2019 |dead-url=no |df=}} 3. ^1 {{cite news |url=https://www.sfgate.com/news/article/He-s-a-true-legend-Boo-World-s-13546740.php |title=‘He's a true legend’: Boo, ‘World’s Cutest Dog’ dies at 12 |newspaper=San Francisco Chronicle |date=January 19, 2019 |accessdate=January 20, 2019 |agency=HTV }} 4. ^{{cite news |url=http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2012/04/11/boo-rip-ripboo-alive-dog_n_1419247.html |title=Boo Is Alive: Dog's Death Refuted On Facebook As #RIPBOO Tweets Flow |work=Huffingtonpost.com |date=April 11, 2012 |access-date=August 10, 2012 |publisher=Oath Inc. |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120719024438/http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2012/04/11/boo-rip-ripboo-alive-dog_n_1419247.html |archive-date=July 19, 2012 |dead-url=no |df=}} 5. ^{{cite news |url=http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2012/07/11/boo-worlds-cutest-dog-is-pet-liaison-for-virgin-america_n_1665949.html |title=Boo, World's Cutest Dog, Is Now Official Pet Liaison For Virgin America (PHOTOS) |work=Huffingtonpost.com |date=July 11, 2012 |access-date=August 10, 2012 |publisher=Oath Inc. |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170710013136/http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2012/07/11/boo-worlds-cutest-dog-is-pet-liaison-for-virgin-america_n_1665949.html |archive-date=July 10, 2017 |dead-url=no |df= }} 6. ^1 {{cite web |url=http://allthingsd.com/20120808/boo-the-worlds-cutest-dog-calls-a-facebook-employee-mom/ |title=Boo, the World's Cutest Dog, Calls a Facebook Employee "Mom" |first=Mike |last=Isaac |work=AllThingsD |date=August 8, 2012 |access-date=August 10, 2012 |publisher=Dow Jones & Company, Inc. |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120809213433/http://allthingsd.com/20120808/boo-the-worlds-cutest-dog-calls-a-facebook-employee-mom/ |archive-date=August 9, 2012 |dead-url=no |df= }} 7. ^{{cite web |last=Choney |first=Suzanne |url=http://digitallife.today.msnbc.msn.com/_news/2012/08/09/13202056-is-boo-the-cutest-dog-in-the-world-a-facebook-plant?lite |title=Is Boo the 'cutest dog' in the world a Facebook plant? |work=Digital Life |publisher=Msnbc |access-date=August 10, 2012 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120811074212/http://digitallife.today.msnbc.msn.com/_news/2012/08/09/13202056-is-boo-the-cutest-dog-in-the-world-a-facebook-plant?lite |archive-date=August 11, 2012}} 8. ^{{cite web |first=Alyson |last=Shontell |url=http://www.businessinsider.com/worlds-cutest-dog-boo-irene-ahn-2012-8 |title=Meet Boo, 'The World's Cutest Dog'—And The Secret Facebook Employee Behind Him |work=Business Insider |date=August 8, 2012 |access-date=August 10, 2012 |publisher=Insider Inc. |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120810004132/http://www.businessinsider.com/worlds-cutest-dog-boo-irene-ahn-2012-8 |archive-date=August 10, 2012 |dead-url=no |df=}} External links
