Noodle the pug, a social-media star for the “Bones” or “No Bones” videos that dictated the daily mood for his many followers, died Friday. He was 14 years old. Owner Jonathan Graziano shared the news Saturday on Noodle’s Tik Tok and other social-media pages.

Fans on Twitter are wishing Noodles farewell with the hashtag “BonesDay,” and commenting on Graziano's video extending their condolences. "It will now and forever be a bones day," one fan commented on Graziano's TikTok, which was liked 47,300 times. “Noodle and the No Bones Day” features Noodle and Graziano navigating both Bones Days and No Bones Days to show kids that it’s “OK not to feel 100 percent all of the time.”

Percepția dacă este sau nu acceptabil sărutatul în locurile publice diferă de la stat la stat. Deși nu există vreo lege care să interzică acest gest de manifestare a afecțiune în locurile publice, prejudecăți există. Deci, oricât de dulce ar fi, sărutul trebuie să aibă timpul și locul lui. Nimic nu este interzis, dacă nu întrece anumite norme și aici mă refer la educația fiecăruia dintre noi în spațiile publice. Altora le este indiferent unde – sărutul e sărut oriunde.
