Courtney Budzyn, the 31-year-old owner, made a social media page for him on the day she adopted him when he was just eight weeks old in June 2018. 

After a month, his video of pawing at an ice cube took the internet by storm. 

“I was floored that many people were as interested in my dog as me. By the time he was 6 months old, he had 60,000 followers. It was insane.”
