Tika the Iggy is a mega-popular Italian greyhound with more than two million followers on both TikTok and Instagram. The nine-pound pooch has a larger-than-life personality on social media, and a sizable wardrobe to match. Tika's Vogue-worthy looks are both fabulous and functional. To protect against Canada's cold winters, the small dog needs to wear extra layers. "We are always dressing her up in things that are comfortable [and] a little more extra. She has lots of sequins, lots of faux fur, feathers," her doting owner said.

"I think now we're up to almost 300 items in her closet," dog dad, Thomas Shapiro told The Post. "She has her own closet space, her own everything. It's intense. She has way more clothes than me and my husband." The Montreal-based web developer and his husband, Louis, welcomed a baby boy, Harry, to the family in March.

Their stylish dog-daughter, however, steals the show. Tika dons elaborate costumes and struts down the hallway like it's the runways of Paris and Milan. From a sparkly pink ballgown to a rainbow tulle dress, the colourful looks have also earned the canine "self-proclaimed gay icon" status, according to Shapiro.

It doesn't hurt that the pooch's proportions lend themselves to a high-fashion look, and every outfit is made to measure for the dog's unique frame. "She's also got these long limbs, a very skinny waist, a big rib cage, a very long neck, and then a very funny, quirky face," Shapiro gushed.

He likes it raw

This 39-year-old man's meat diet is too intense even for non-veg eaters

Nebraska resident Weston Rowe, 39, has been consuming a raw meat-based diet, including raw chicken, beef, liver and other animal organs for the last three years, and has no plans to stop.

He believes that the diet has helped raise his energy levels,. He no longer eats processed foods and spends about $140 a week on his meals. Rowe doesn't like to snack and eats two or three meals a day. He sometimes skips breakfast, but does munch on three or four raw eggs and a piece of fruit. "[Fruit] is one of the rare things I eat that isn't meat-based," he said.

He changed his diet when he started feeling brain fogginess, decreased energy and eczema. However, one food group has caused much controversy in Rowe's diet. Raw chicken has been linked to salmonella, but Rowe claimed he has "eaten hundreds of pounds of raw chicken and I have never even gotten close to being sick".
