Now, over the past two months, videos showing Borzois, and inanimate objects that look like them, have taken over TikTok.
Jacob Chattman, a longtime Borzoi owner and content creator, said Borzois "embody the existential crisis of being way too aware of everything."
Sad Borzois, Kambourian said, have recontextualized “Cellophane,” a devastating song in its original form, for many people.
Like Chattman, Kelly said many sighthounds have a “magical” quality to them.
“They just have such a different personality than other dogs,” Kelly said.
