The famous Taco Bell dog (Chihuahua) has died at the ripe old age of 15!

The pup, named Gidget, was huge in, what was it, 1999..? And was one of the best known commercial stars of her time.

Yo Quiero Taco Bell!

Gidget died of a stroke, but she will live forever in pop culture!

Her trainer, Sue Chipperton  says Gidget lived out her final years laying in the sun and enjoying retirement. “She made so many people happy,” she said.  “Gidget always knew where the camera was.”

I still have my Gidget refrigerator magnet that my mom gave me back in my single days when I longed for a dog but couldn’t have one because I wouldn’t be home often enough to care for it. Little did I know the dog I would eventually get would look a lot like Gidget, even though she is a Rat Terrier.

RIP Gidget!
