4. Marnie the Shih Tzu – The Lolling Tongue
Clocking in at 1.8 million followers, we have a 12-year-old Shih Tzu from New York named Marnie. Marnie @marniethedog rose to Internet stardom thanks to her lolling tongue and constant head tilt which vets think might have been the result of vestibular disease. Marnie was adopted when she was 10 years old by Shirley Braha after she was taken in by animal control when she was living on the street after being abandoned in Connecticut.
Marnie was given the nickname Stinky at the animal shelter due to the pungent odor she had as the result of several rotting teeth. Braha adopted Marnie through Petfinder and took her home to New York where her teeth and other ailments were treated and now she smells great! Well, great for a dog. She doesn’t smell as great as you and me. You smell better than a homeless dog but you don’t have 1.8 million Instagram followers so where is the justice in this dark world? Marnie has met celebrities such as Aaron Paul, Laverne Cox, Larry King, Jonah Hill, etc. You haven’t met anyone.
