Everyone loves a senior rescue dog. Take, for example, Marnie. With 2.1 million Instagram followers, this 15-year-old Shih Tzu, famed for her extremely long tongue, is one of the most popular rescue dogs on Instagram. When she arrived at 11 years of age at a Connecticut Animal Control, she was matted and unclaimed. Shelter workers nicknamed her "Stinky" for her truly bad smell and it was thought she was blind in her left eye. Marnie's family adopted her anyway. A vet removed 14 rotten teeth, taking care of the smell, and it turns out she wasn't blind after all! Once adopted, the cloudiness in her eye cleared up. A true rags to riches story.
