To most of the world, she was the 'I have no idea what I'm doing' dog or the 'redneck retriever' - but to her family, she was Bailey.

Sadly, Bailey passed away in 2016. Now, after taking some time to themselves, her family have put together her story in 100 pictures, writing on Imgur:
She may have been semi-famous but she was also our dog and a part of our family, which is why we took our time to let her fans know.
Because you made her famous, she made millions of people smile over the course of her life.
We will always miss her, but we hope that she lives on through her pictures and continues to bring people joy and laughter.
Here are some of their heartwarming phtotos.
Bailey begun life as the most adorable puppy.

Driven by her sky-high social media engagement (that, or just treats), Bailey even learned to pose for photos.

And Bailey had quite a few treats to get through this one.

Bailey went through some tough times - including the day she got a little sister, Rosie. She was not a fan of sharing the attention.

But she eventually warmed up to Rosie - and it stayed that way, however big Rosie got.

When she wasn't being amazing on social media, Bailey loved to snuggle.
