Halo, the face of the preferred Twitter account ‘Thoughts of Dog’ died last week at the age of nine, the group stated in a statement posted Monday. Halo gained Internet fame with her “iconic watermelon smile” pic that ‘Thoughts of Dog’ employed as its show image for years. The Twitter account, which has 3.6 million followers to its name, stated that the image was submitted to their sister account – ‘We Rate Dogs’ – back in 2016.
“Obviously, it is unique and entertaining thanks to the watermelon, but something about the pure bliss radiating from her expression felt perfect for an account attempting to capture the essence of dogs,” stated ‘Thoughts of Dog’ in its statement.
“Halo passed away last week,” the statement continued. “She went peacefully and surrounded by her family. She didn’t suffer for a moment.”
