If you've never heard of Noodle the pug, then where have you been for the past few weeks? According to NPR, "Noodle and his owner, New York City-based Jonathan Graziano, have won over the internet with their near-daily videos of a game called "no bones." They're are mostly posted to TikTok, but also shared on Noodle's Instagram account. The premise is straightforward, and adorable. Graziano hoists a sleepy-looking Noodle out of his fluffy bed. If the pug flops back down, it's a 'no-bones' day — a time to lay low, avoid risks and cancel plans without regret. If he remains standing, it's a 'bones' day, which is a sign to get out there and indulge."
We think this is an absolutely awwdorable idea, and people on the interwebz are going absolutely crazy over this smol pug and his predictions about how the day will go. In fact, people are getting a little bit crazy about it. Take a look:
According to NPR, "Graziano (and Noodle) have amassed more than 2 million followers on TikTok, where the hashtag #nobones had clocked nearly 194 million views as of Tuesday morning. And "Bonesday" was a top trending topic on Twitter on Monday." The doggy and hooman duo have gone pretty viral, and people eagerly await their forecast about what the day will hold, all dependent on whether Noodle the pug feels like standing up or not.
According to Graziano, the doggy and hooman duo have been doing this for years. Graziano says, "I adopted Noodle when he was seven and a half years old, and we learned very early on that when he doesn't want to go on walkies, he will not go on walkies. And it's just insane to be able to share this with you guys and see the response. So I really appreciate it." Keep spreading the pawsome content guys, you're doing absolutely amazing!
