"¡Yo quiero Taco Bell!" No More. Taco Bell Chihuahua Dies


She charmed millions without ever saying a word, and managed to make fast food tacos adorable. Gidget, the Chihuahua best known for her Taco Bell ad campaign, died from a stroke on Tuesday night at age 15. 

"She made so many people happy," says Gidget's trainer, Sue Chipperton. Her last gig was at a Hollywood animals photo shoot in February, where it was reported that the pup was a consummate pro and delighted the crew with her playful nature. 

The mostly retired actor lived out her days laying in the sun – "I like to joke that it's like looking after a plant," says Chipperton – and entertaining at shoots when her trainer brought her along. "Gidget," says Chipperton, "always knew where the camera was."
