Irwin family fans are worried about why a ‘family member’ has disappeared from their social media accounts.
After Robert Irwin recently took to Instagram to show Stella, the clan pug, wandering around Australia Zoo, many have wondered why it’s been a while since they’ve seen another of the family’s pets, Piggy, the Cavalier King Charles Spaniel by Bindi Irwin.
‘What happened to little Cavalier? [King Charles Spaniel] You had?’ wrote one concerned fan in the Instagram comments.
‘What happened to Piggy?’ wrote another, before repeating it shortly afterwards with more urgency: ‘What has happened to Piggy please???’
The family has yet to address the burning issue.

Piggy’s last appearance was six weeks ago in a photo shoot with the family pug, Stella, while they were out for a walk.
“Sisters for life,” the title read, followed by an International Women’s Day hashtag.
WhatsNew2Day Australia has contacted the Irwin family for comment.

It comes after the famous family was criticized for promoting pug dogs on their social media. Robert Irwin recently took to Instagram in a joint post with the account of the family’s pet pug, Stella.
However, not everyone was in love with Stella, and some followers took the opportunity to complain about the health problems inherent to the dog breed.
“Stop breeding pugs, they are harmful to themselves,” one user wrote, sparking a fierce debate in the comments.
‘Not all pugs have health problems. When they have a good pedigree they are perfectly healthy. But the black market is destroying that,” another commenter responded.
However, Instagram user ‘Dollytrev’ took issue with this response, stating that while not all pugs have health problems, ‘over 95% of them benefit from BOAS.’ [Brachycephalic Obstructive Airway Syndrome] surgery.’
The video showed the pug wandering around various sites at the Australia Zoo. Many fans expressed their joy for the cute dog’s adventures, but some followers took the opportunity to complain about the dog breed’s health problems.
‘Not all pugs have health problems. When they have a good pedigree they are perfectly healthy. But the black market is destroying that,” wrote one commenter.
Due to their specific physical traits, pugs often have anatomical problems that restrict their breathing.
BOAS surgery typically involves widening the nostrils, shortening the soft palate, and removing excess tissue around the voice box to increase airflow.
Dollytrev continued: ‘The Irwins really shouldn’t be promoting brachycephalic breeds. “I know they care about animals, so I wonder what cognitive dissonance is going on here for them to have one.”
But another Irwin defender took issue with this line of questioning: ‘In what world are they promoting a short-nosed breed by posting a cute video of their dog?’ It’s not that they raise them. They have had Stella for years.
Earlier this month, Irwin matriarch Terri also posed with Stella in recognition of National Pet Day.
