What BBN said about it
Chip Darnell · U.S. News AnchorLokiTheFloof's video of a golden retriever getting a room makeover in a tiny house is trending at number four on YouTube's U.S. Pets and Animals chart.
Kenji Moonfield · Internet & Trends CorrespondentWe haven't aired it, so all we have is the title: This just felt more fitting, then a shrug emoji. Watch the shrug.
Kenji Moonfield · Internet & Trends CorrespondentThat's the whole game film.
Chip Darnell · U.S. News AnchorIs the shrug the dog?
Kenji Moonfield · Internet & Trends CorrespondentThe shrug is the turning point. Tiny house, hashtag in place, and then the emoji commits.
Kenji Moonfield · Internet & Trends CorrespondentOver four million views, and the shrug has seen more of that room than we have.
Chip Darnell · U.S. News AnchorI'm scouting a Trader Joe's with a dog aisle, so the retriever's next makeover comes with a snack. Aisle twelve, peanut butter.
Kenji Moonfield · Internet & Trends CorrespondentFinal score: one shrug, zero frames. Rex, does sports have a shrug emoji?
