Rhino So Cool, Beloved Canine Star, Dies of a Broken Heart

Rhino So Cool, the beloved dog of YouTube sensation CJ So Cool, has died on May 12, 2021. Rhino wasn’t just another pet—he was a YouTube star. He featured regularly on CJ’s channel and even had his own dedicated playlist aptly named “Rhino So Cool.” Fans adored him, and he quickly became a household name within CJ’s online community.

Rhino wasn’t alone. He was adopted alongside Blanco So Cool, and the two were inseparable companions. Rhino also frequently appeared in videos alongside CJ’s girlfriend, Royalty Johnson, and CJ’s daughter, Camari.

In a heartbreaking turn, CJ shared what appeared to be a screenshot of a Google search result suggesting that pets can die of broken hearts when they lose someone they love. CJ believes Rhino’s death is linked to a painful family breakup: when Royalty moved out with the children, it deeply affected Rhino. CJ speculated that Rhino may have literally died from heartbreak after losing the daily presence of the people he loved most.

The “Broken Heart” Theory

CJ shared a screenshot of a Google search about pets dying after separation from a loved one. While anecdotal and not medically confirmed, this theory is known among pet owners. CJ believes that Rhino’s illness coincided exactly with Royalty and the kids moving out, leading him to conclude that the heartbreak may have been fatal.
