If there’s a heaven, we’re pretty sure it’s populated mainly with dogs.<\/p>\n

A beloved Chihuahua, Mr. Piffles, featured in Flamingo’s comedy-magic “Piff the Magic Dragon” show, has died just shy of his 17th birthday. Mr. Piffles passed on Nov. 8, 2024.<\/p>\n

In honor of the pup, Flamingo will open “Mr. Piffles’ Magical Playground,” a dog-friendly space at the Strip hotel.<\/p>\n

Piff (nee John van der Put) has worked with Mr. Piffles for 15 years.<\/p>\n

This quote from van der Put from the announcement of the passing of Mr. Piffles was sweet, “For over 15 years I’ve had the privilege and the pleasure of being upstaged and outshone night after night by Mr. Piffles. He came into my life when I had nothing, and set me on the path to a career I could only dream of. In the beginning, I may have rescued him, but in the end, he rescued me.”<\/p>\n

He meant “more than 15 years,” not “over,” but he’s grieving.<\/p>\n
