On December 21st, 2022, YouTube creator PewDiePie shared a heartbreaking tribute on Instagram announcing the death of his beloved one-eyed 17-year-old pug, Maya. He wrote, “Said farewell to my little Maya this morning.. 17 years is a long time for a pug, but no time in the world would’ve ever been enough. I didn’t think I could love a dog as much as I loved her.” Fans of the content creator expressed their condolences, with one person writing, “Sorry to hear mate, she had a big life for a little pup.”
PewDiePie, whose real name is Felix Arvid Ulf Kjellberg, had previously opened up about Maya’s ongoing health struggles, including dementia and the loss of one of her eyes. He said in a vlog earlier this year, “We’ll see how she develops. But Maya has the ‘dementies’. She’s so old. Her mind is kind of declining a bit.”
It has been a tumultuous year for the content creator, as he lost his title for world’s most subscribed YouTuber to MrBeast last month. While MrBeast has 122 million followers on the video platform, PewDiePie still has an impressive 111 million subscribers.
We’re going to miss the heck out of that little pug, with her sweet face and one, big, beautiful eye when we log on to get our daily dose of social content.
