Olivia the Corgi from Hammy and Olivia is no more. In a heartbreaking video posted to social media on Wednesday, November 8, a tearful Chris revealed that the pup that stole the hearts of millions of people worldwide had died. The 8-year-old Corgi passed away after a medical emergency due to kidney failure.
Fans were plunged into despair when they heard the news that one-half of the internet's most beloved Corgi pair had died. Fans gathered in the comments section of Chris' post to pay tribute to the pup and console Chris about the loss he was facing.
The Hammy and Olivia Corgi account on TikTok started during the Pandemic when Chris and Sara were bored. The duo welcomed Olivia into their lives five years ago, and Hammy, or Hamilton, joined in only two years ago. The account was a massive success, catapulting the two Corgis and their owners into internet celebrity status.
Hammy and Olivia's videos showed the Corgis in a variety of fun and cute situations, with voice-overs and cute little outfits, like the time all of them and their two cat friends pretended the floor was Lava or when Olivia dropped a log on Chris' car for forgetting to give her a treat. This Halloween, the whole family dressed up as Flintstone characters. This was the last video with Olivia in it.
