Beloved influencer dog Raffie is dead after brutal Christmas Eve fight with owner’s other bulldogs

Raffie, a popular bulldog known from his owner’s social media, sadly passed away just before Christmas.

Maren Peeters, who shares updates about her dogs on TikTok (@bundleofbullies), announced on Wednesday that her dog unexpectedly died while she was traveling in Austria.

On Thursday, Peeters shared a heartfelt message online explaining that she was traveling when she received the heartbreaking news that her dog, Raffie, had suffered a heart attack at doggie daycare.

Peeters, known for her dogs’ popular social media presence – with 1.5 million TikTok followers and almost 700,000 on Instagram – became emotional while sharing that another one of her bulldogs was seriously hurt in the same fight that caused Raffie to suffer a cardiac arrest.

‘I never imagined that I would have to make this video,’ she began. 

She explained that she dropped off all of her rescued bulldogs at their regular daycare, just like she does whenever she’s away.

I was so saddened to hear the latest update. Apparently, there was an incident involving Raffie and another dog, and tragically, Raffie’s close companion is now seriously hurt – they were trying to protect Raffie during it all. It’s just heartbreaking to think about.

According to her, the daycare reported that Raffie and her other dog, Pickles, got into a fight. Pickles tried to attack Raffie, but the bulldog suddenly collapsed and lost consciousness due to a heart attack.

According to her, the daycare owner began giving Raffie CPR, but Pickles tried to intervene aggressively. Another dog, Odin, then stepped in to stop Pickles.

She said Odin is Raffie’s closest companion and tried to help him, but ended up getting injured himself and needed immediate veterinary care.

She was heartbroken, openly weeping as she expressed how much she missed her close friend, Raffie, and how lost she felt without him.

She later added: ‘Let’s be clear, they never do anything like that when they’re with me.’ 

She let her fans know she was immediately flying home to get her dogs – Raffie from the funeral home and Odin from the vet – from where they were being cared for.

She later posted on Instagram, sharing a picture of her dog, Odin, and explaining that he is very sick and needs €5,000 worth of veterinary care.

Since sharing the sad news about Raffie on social media, she’s posted several pictures of him with heartfelt messages about how much she’s missing him.

‘I want to thank everyone for the love they gave him,’ she said. 

She said she was sure he could feel it, and she intends to keep posting videos of her other rescued bulldogs – who she lovingly refers to as Raffie’s siblings – online.

She added that she’ll keep calling out other people who are bullying Raffie online.

Peeters’ American bulldogs became popular online thanks to videos of them wearing adorable costumes and tasting new foods.

As a lifestyle expert, I’m always fascinated by what resonates online, and this pet owner has really cracked the code! Her adorable dog has become a huge hit on platforms like TikTok and Instagram, attracting over 2 million followers across all accounts. It’s amazing to see how much love people have for these furry internet stars!

Her TikTok video about the loss of her dog, Raffie, has been seen by over 1.1 million people, and many viewers have left kind and supportive comments.
