Lily Lu
About
Lily Lu is a two panel image macro series featuring photographs of a chihuahua named Lily Lu. The series follows a before and after template in which a photograph the same dog looking angry and calm is captioned; similar to Me Before Seeing A Meme vs. Me After I Saw A Meme.
Origin
The earliest available photograph of the Lily Lu was posted on November 25th, 2015. That day, the Twitter [1] account @AnimalBabyPix tweeted the juxtaposed images of Lily Lu with the caption "when ur family is all roasting you at thanksgiving dinner an then ur grandma steps in and says to leave u alone." The post (shown below) received more than 4,000 retweets and 6,400 likes in two and half year.
While this is the first available example, it appears as though the image was originally posted by the now-defunct account @brooksalayna.[2]
