Who was Noodle?

Noodle was a 14 year and a half years old pug. The owner
first adopted Noodle when the dog was seven years old. The duo found a huge
social media following during the COVID-19 pandemic through their series of
“bones day” predictions. In the videos, Graziano held Noddle up in a dog bed to
see if the pug would stand up or proceed to lie back down. If Noodle flopped
over, it made a “no bones” day, whereas if Noodle remained standing up, it
would be declared a “bones day”.

According to Graziano, a bones day is a day where you just
have to go after your ambition or a task you were outing off. A no bones day is
a day when you just have permission to wear soft clothes, self-care, and take a
bath.

On TikTok, Graziano and Noodle gained 4.5 million
followers, with more than 271,000 on Instagram, earning around 100 million
likes across their collection of videos.

ups and downs of life, including both the “bones” and “no bones” days. The book
