Boo the Dog has been taking the internet by storm with his miniature teddy bear look and huge wardrobe and the most fun dog products. He started off as a shaggy, energetic and lovable Pomeranian puppy when he was born on March 16th, 2006. Thankfully his owner the “human” was ready with her camera to capture all of it. His Facebook fan page is growing rapidly every day. Now with over 17 Million followers he has become more popular than many humans celebrities.

Boo the Dog’s Journey to the Cutest Dog in the World

His human put Boo on Facebook on May 11th, 2009. From there, Boo’s popularity grew quickly. He didn’t need any dog training to look this cute. He was born to be this cute with his looks and fun personality, he wakes up looking forward to putting on a new outfit.

Boo the dog quickly became known worldwide as the cutest dog in the world, but who knew his adorableness would get him to over 17+ million fans and counting; easily adding a few thousand new fans a day. Boo currently lives in San Francisco, California; you can see his adventures in his second book Big Dog in a Little City. If you happen to be visiting San Francisco make sure you keep any eye out for the cutest little dog in the world going for a walk with his best friends Buddy and Blue. He has also become quite the world traveler appearing on TV shows and at events all over the country. All it took was a few celebrity mentions and a tweet from Kesha claiming Boo as her boyfriend (I was jealous) Kesha’s Tweet for him to become well known and grow to his first million fans. After that Boo’s charm and adorable look with his owner’s great photography skills allowed them to grow Boo into a worldwide celebrity, author and spokesdog.

What Kind of Dog is Boo?

Boo the dog is a teacup Pomeranian, with one unique distinction that has separated him from the rest of the Pomeranians and made him a celebrity. What makes him unique to other Pomeranians is his hair texture, which is coarse and thick, where his best friend Buddy has long and silky hair. If Buddy were to get the same haircut, he would look very different. It worked in Boo’s favor as he looks much cuter with the short hair and it’s much easier to wear all his fashionable outfits.

Why does he have a Short Haircut?

His fur was knotted and it had to be done, dog grooming products were not working for him so he needed to get the shaved haircut look and face trimmed, but it is what gives him the adorable teddy bear look.

Who is Boo’s Owner?

We do now know who the owner of Boo is after 3 years of successfully hiding her identity and using the pseudo name J.H. Lee. She was an employee of Facebook when she created the Facebook Fanpage, which started a controversy about whether she got any help from inside Facebook to make her puppy famous.

Even if she got help from engineering friends or knew some of the tricks to be seen by 1000s of people, it never forced people to like the page. Boo’s natural charm and cuteness were all people needed to see to click like and make him the most famous dog in the world. 17+ Million people are happy it did, can you imagine the world without Boo? Would any of the other celebrity dogs have become as popular or even created a Facebook or Instagram for their puppies if Boo hadn’t led the charge and became as famous as he is?

We’ll never know, and I’m thankful for that because a life without photos from the cutest dog in the world in it is less cute. You may still be wondering who Boo’s Owner is? She started the Facebook page never wanting to be in the spotlight, but to take and share cute pictures of her puppy. Boo should be living a paparazzi free life, where no one disturbs his naps.

The Most Giving Dog in the World

He is well deserving of his fame as he wants to people to celebrate his birthday, not by sending gifts and treats, but by supporting the humans around the world. Boo has dedicated his last 5 birthdays and raised a significant amount of money. It just goes to show you that anyone can make a large impact on the world no matter their size.

5^th birthday he raised over $5,000 for Operation Smile , which helps children all over the world who have been born with a cleft lip.

6^th birthday he helped raised money for Freedom House, a shelter for survivors of slavery and human trafficking. Donations went to the care and services the survivors needed to rebuild their lives.

7^th birthday he raised Lucile Packard Children’s Hospital’s Pet Therapy program raising $5,000

8^th birthday he had a goal of raising $10,000 for charity: water, which builds clean water projects around the world and his fans came through bigger than ever before with 3 times more than he had hoped for, donating $30,015 in total.

9^th birthday he decided to help the humans and his fellow tiny dogs. In honor of Boo, Virgin America donated $10 to San Francisco Animal Care & Control for each plane ticket sold. He also had the privilege of being part of the 6^th operation Chihuahua, where they fly 12 lucky chihuahuas to the east coast where they will be adopted and live happier lives in the big city. For his human friends, he asked for donations to the Lucile Packard Children’s Hospital. The donations went to help support care comfort and cures for the mini humans. His goal was only $9,000 and his support again was overwhelming raising $20,696 with an additional $9,000 donated by Boo personally.
