Chris P. Bacon was born without hind limbs. The video of Chris learning to walk with a wheelchair made of toy parts went viral in 2013 – it has over two million views – and shot Chris to animal stardom. While his owner Dr Lucero doesn't post as much as other internet star animals, Chris has made many television appearances and went viral again when a news anchor broke down laughing saying Chris' name.

Originally called Tardar Sauce, Grumpy Cat now has an entourage of five people to prep her for her weekly appearances. Her less than impressed expression has been turned into a cartoon image that is used to decorate the many products that Grumpy Cat endorses. She even has her own film, Grumpy Cat's Worst Christmas Ever, with actress Aubrey Plaza providing her voice.

However Boo, pictured here with his best friend Buddy and the cuddly toys sold in their likeness, sadly died in January 2019 at the age of 12. It is thought that the "world's cutest dog" may have died from a broken heart after he developed heart problems following the death of Buddy in 2017. His owner now has two other dogs called Bluebeary Pie and Benny that she posts photos of on Boo's Instagram account.
