Sadly, Mimi LaRue passed away but she's far from long gone from my mind – how many dogs have we seen sporting tulle for goodness sake? It's not just me who loved this pup, Tori Spelling herself said:

She was not just a dog but a fashion icon and legend amongst Hollywood dogs. She received fan email on a regular basis, and I often joked she got sent more designer clothes than me!

Missing Mimi LaRue: Tori Spelling's Beloved Pug Dies

PetSugar — Wed, 18 Jun 2008 16:20:17 -0700

I'm saddened to report that Mimi LaRue died Tuesday of natural causes at the age of 11. This Pug was a beloved furry family member and died surrounded by those who loved her most including Tori Spelling, Dean McDermott, and their two children, son Liam and 10-day-old daughter, Stella. So maybe the pooch was a lil overweight, but – oh my – wasn't she always spotted being super stylish all over the place?

I can imagine the whole family's devastated although Tori shared that her dog had suffered from medical problems relating to her hips and neck for years:

I'm convinced she waited around to make sure I had the daughter I always dreamt about before she left us . . . She was a loving pet and a true diva to the end.
