A video of a pet dog from Orange has gone viral on Instagram, garnering over 2 million views and an interview on a local network television program.
Twiggy, a rescue dog belonging to Orange resident Stu Crystal, can be seen squealing her lungs out in the clip posted to the social media network by Stu’s daughter, Samantha.
Crystal said in an interview with WTNH’s CT Style show that Twiggy had just been picked up from the kennel after the family returned from Christmas vacation, and had a lot of pent-up energy.
“She gets very excited in the car,” he explained.
The Crystals got Twiggy six years ago from Tennessee through an organization called Shelly’s Angels, which secures dogs in states that euthanize strays if they’re not quickly adopted.
“She was very skinny, blond with big eyes which inspired her name,” Crystal said. “With a few years of TLC a more appropriate name now would be Ashley Graham,” he joked.
