RIP Moonie, a.k.a. Bruiser Woods
March 12, 2016 11:01 AM   Subscribe

The 2016 celebrity death toll continues, as Moonie the chihuahua, star of the first two Legally Blonde movies, has passed away at the age of 18. Reese Witherspoon -- a supporting actress in the LB movies whose role was mostly to carry Bruiser around -- broke the news on her Instagram feed.

Chihuahuas are the longest-lived domesticated breed, so Moonie making it to voting age isn't that surprising.

This is sad, but now I'm hoping my chihuahua (whose life span I've been estimating at 12, which is still long for a dog) can make it even longer!

That seems pretty classy of her to recognize her costar like that.

People make fun of little dogs, but you can put a lot of mileage on them -- 16 to 18 years before you have to say goodbye. It's never long enough, of course.

He lived a long and happy life as far as I can tell. Good for him.

I loved the description of Reese's job being to carry him around in the movies.

For all the good dogs. (One of my 12 year old Chi's is grumpily snoring right behind me)
