They say that every dog has its day, and for Apollo, a young stray who roams the Giza necropolis in Greater Cairo, that day was Oct. 14. “I looked down and saw something move,” said Mr. Lang, an accountant from Atlanta. “He just stood there confidently, like he was king or maybe pharaoh of the hill,” Mr. Lang said. Mr. Lang filmed a short video that quickly became an overnight sensation, amassing 28 million views on Instagram and trending on several other online platforms. “The workers at the Giza pyramid complex had already named him Apollo.”
