Ulster Dancing Pug Becomes YouTube Sensation
A video of an east Belfast pug has gone viral, reaching over 3.5 million views.
Loca, became a Youtube hit when her owner captured her on tape trying to run.
A voiceover sings: “Well hello, my name is Loca and I’m a special pug. I live in Belfast, Ireland, and my favourite thing’s a hug.
"I love to eat roast chicken and my friends say I’m good fun, but one thing that I cannot do is, I can’t fe***n’ run."
Three-year-old pug Loca has a condition called ataxia. It is not painful or life-threatening but it does affect her movement.
Owner Mal Orr, 55, who posted the video told The Belfast Telegraph: "We've had so many nice replies, so many people who were down in the dumps or disabled themselves who have said Loca made them realise life isn’t so bad," he said. "I thought people would like them but to get so many hits, from America and places like Finland and Sweden, is amazing."
The video will feature on Channel 4 show Rude Tube.
