About
Lily Lu, also known as Angry Happy Chihuahua or Angry vs. Happy Dog, is a two-panel image macro meme series featuring photographs of a chihuahua named Lily Lu. The series follows a before-and-after template in which a photograph of the same dog looking angry and then calm is captioned with jokes, similar to Me Before Seeing A Meme vs. Me After I Saw A Meme. The comparison meme appeared online in 2015, spreading over the following years.
Origin
The earliest available photograph of the chihuahua 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 a half years.
While this is the first available example, it appears as though the image was originally posted by the now-defunct account @brooksalayna.[2]
Spread
Three days later, on November 28th, 2015, Tumblr user SpecialMemeFresh captioned the photos "me before seeing a meme. grrr" and "me after i saw a meme. its good." The post (shown below, ) obtained over 158,000 notes in two years.[3]
On December 20th, Twitter[4] user @eiFito posted an image of the dogs with a sash and tiara photoshopped on the dog's body, referencing Steve Harvey's Miss Universe 2015 gaffe. They captioned the post "Por si se lo perdieron, aquí un resumen de #MissUniverse2015" (translation: "In case you missed it, here's a summary of #MissUniverse2015"). The post (shown below) received more than 780 retweets and 475 likes in two years.
About two weeks later, Tumblr[5] user fermontelongo posted a variation with the caption "Me before and after checking out at Sephora." The post (shown below) received more than 660 notes in about two years.
On May 25th, 2016, the two images were arranged vertically with a black outline and uploaded to memegenerator.net. [6]
