Fact Check: What Happened to Jenna Marbles' Dog? Inside Mr. Marbles' Final Days
Jenna Mourey never planned on building an empire around a toy breed. In 2010, working multiple odd jobs in Boston while holding a master’s degree in sports psychology, she adopted the rescued Chihuahua and nicknamed him Mr. Marbles. When her satirical clip "How to Trick People Into Thinking You're Good Looking" went viral with 5.3 million views in its first week, Mourey’s mother expressed concern that prospective employers searching "Jenna Mourey" would only find comedy sketches. Jenna changed her public persona to "Jenna Marbles" overnight.
Marbles quickly became YouTube royalty. While Mourey delivered rapid-fire rants to a webcam, Marbles sat entirely motionless in her lap, staring blankly past the lens with a deadpan expression that became an internet meme in its own right. Over the following decade, the household expanded to include Kermit the Italian Greyhound, Peach, and later a rescued racing greyhound named Bunny. Yet Marbles remained the spiritual anchor of the channel. He was the subject of birthday celebrations, elaborate bath-time rituals, and running gags about whether he was an immortal creature powered entirely by nap cycles.
