Taco Bell Chihuahua Dies at 15
Us Magazine
Gidget, the famed Chihuahua who appeared in Taco Bell ads, died Tuesday at the age of 15.
Karen McElhatton, Gidget's owner, tells Usmagazine.com the dog was with her trainer, Sue Chipperton, watching television when she began making "strange noises" and suffered a stroke.
Before the dog's death, "She had a good day and was running around as normal," McElhatton tells Usmagazine.com. "We're happy that she was very well off right until the end."
Gidget -- whose "Yo Quiero Taco Bell" spots debuted in September 1997 -- also had a cameo in Legally Blonde 2, in addition to appearing in other TV spots.
We enjoyed working with Gidget, and she will be missed by many," a Taco Bell spokesperson tells Us in a statement. "Our deepest sympathies go out to her owners and fans."
I'm glad to see the Taco Bell dog got to die with honor and dignity at a ripe, old age. Spuds MacKenzie wasn't so lucky. He got really into blow and hookers with his buddies Sam Kinnison and Corey Feldman and his heart gave out on the Sunset Strip. Sadly the two most talented out of those three had to die.
Mr. Ed had a worse fate. He was found murdered after a wild argument with Wilbur. Turns out it wasn't so great that he could talk.
