The face of the dog was used by the popular Twitter account ‘Thoughts of Dog’ as it Display Picture (DP). The Twitter account, which has 3.6 million followers, released a statement after Halo’s death Monday.
The Twitter account said that the picture was submitted to their sister account – ‘We Rate Dogs’ – back in 2016.
This is Halo, but you know her better as the @dog_feelings profile pic. Her iconic watermelon smile has given a voice to dogs everywhere. Halo passed away last week at the age of 9. She went peacefully and surrounded by her family. She didn’t suffer for a moment. 15/10 ❤️ pic.twitter.com/BaKeeKmhlx
