Loca, the Belfast dog who can't run, becomes Youtube sensation

[The Straight Story]

Meet Loca — Ulster’s dancing dog who is currently the most famous pet in the world.

The adorable pug from east Belfast is an internet sensation, with hilarious videos of her racking up four million hits.

Loca looks like any ordinary pug, until she tries to run. That’s because a harmless neurological condition she suffers from means that when she tries to run, she ends up dancing and skipping.

The videos are accompanied by quirky songs and lyrics and have gone viral on YouTube. The most popular clip — with 3.5 million views — is known as ‘the pug that could not run’.

It shows Loca, the Spanish word for ‘crazy’, dancing round in fields, skipping into mud puddles and leaping into the air.
