Courtney Budzyn, the 31-year-old owner, made a social media page for him on the day she adopted him when he was just eight weeks old, in June 2018.
After a month, his video of pawing at an ice cube took the internet by storm. “I was floored that many people were as interested in my dog as me. By the time he was 6 months old, he had 60,000 followers. It was insane,” Courtney was quoted as saying by the ‘New York Post’.
“A YouTube-paid post can be anywhere from $40,000 to $60,000 for a 30-minute pre-roll. Instagram, we make about $20,000 for anywhere from three to eight stories,” she added.
Courtney, who used to clean houses, and her husband, Mike, who worked as a civil engineer, quit their respective jobs in order to manage Tucker and his pup, Todd, full-time.
