Sweetpea, a five-month-old puppy with congenital health issues, passed away unexpectedly on her way to the veterinarian. Despite her short life, she brought joy to many people through her heartwarming story and participation in Puppy Bowl 2024, which was filmed months before her passing.
Sweetpea was born on July 1, 2023 in Tennessee and was raised in Georgia, where she died on November 20, 2023.
Born with a deformed kidney and a heart defect, Sweetpea was rescued by Bosley’s Place, a sanctuary dedicated to caring for special needs puppies.

Sweetpea’s heartwarming story resonated with audiences nationwide as she became the smallest puppy ever to compete in the Puppy Bowl. Her infectious enthusiasm and zest for life captured the hearts of many, leaving an indelible mark on those who encountered her.
So incredibly proud of the beautiful, sweet little mark that she has left on this earth…. of how many people that she truly touched.
Incredible. Heartwarming. Unbelievable.
Baby girl, my sweetest sweetest little pea… The tears still sting and flow, but you have filled me and everyone else with SO MUCH LOVE, it needs to overflow somehow… they are now tears of love, no longer tears of pain. You are so dearly missed.
