Marlon Bundo, the social media-famous pet bunny of former Vice President Mike Pence’s family, had died, according to a Saturday post on his Instagram account.
Bundo, who earned the moniker “BOTUS” thanks to his relationship to the second family, was the star of three children’s books by Karen Pence and her daughter, Charlotte — “Marlon Bundo’s A Day in the Life of the Vice President,” “Marlon Bundo’s A Day in the Nation’s Capital” and “Marlon Bundo’s Best Christmas Ever.”
“Marlon, you came into our lives at just the moment we needed you most,” the family wrote on Marlon Bundo’s Instagram alongside a photo of him with former second daughter Charlotte Pence Bond. “I never could have predicted that a little bunny I found on Craigslist for a college student film would give me the courage to write my first book and be the inspiration for two more, all with the best illustrator I could imagine.”
