Ladies and gentlemen, if you are unfamiliar with the exploits of Jiff the Pomeranian, you have not lived.
Jiff the Pomeranian is a darling of social media. Known for his adorable and hilarious exploits, Jiff the Pomeranian boasts 1.3 million?followers on Instagram and nearly 25,000 on YouTube, all of which?must?find themselves in adoration. On Monday, Jiff’s new Instagram video was uploaded, to the delight of (at the time of this writing) over 83,000 people.
With Chamillionaire bumping behind him, Jiff the Pomeranian cruises in a Tonka truck past colas and chips because he’s Jiff and he can.
Of course, “ridin’ dirty” in a Tonka truck isn’t the only awesome thing Jiff has done. Jiff the Pomeranian has also set Guinness world records?– twice! Jiff has the record for fastest 5 meters on front paws and fastest 10 meters on back.
Jiff the Pomeranian has been on national television, notably on Good Morning, America and SportsCenter.
Jiff has channeled his inner Elvis.
Jiff also had a cameo in Katy Perry’s music video for “Dark Horse.”
When I first saw Jiff riding the Tonka truck through grocery store aisles, I admit, I didn’t think he was real. Apparently, I’m not the only one who wasn’t initially convinced this canine wunderkind was anything more than a stuffed animal that could move. From The Huffington Post:
“‘When Jiff first walked into our offices, we weren’t even sure he was real! He looks like a living, breathing cuddly toy. He might be tiny but he’s got a huge personality, and his wealth of talents can’t be doubted,’ Guinness World Records editor Craig Glenday said in a press release.”
Perhaps the difficulty in distinguishing him from a stuffed animal at first glance is a testament to how adorable Jiff is. Of course, this video makes me wonder…
Whatever happened to my old Tonka truck?
