A shelter dog’s overnight escape turned into a party that went viral on TikTok.
The Bedford County Humane Society in south-central Pennsylvania opened its doors Friday to hundreds of squeaker toys littered throughout the halls by the shelter’s permanent resident and mascot, Gilligan, who had escaped his kennel.
Employee Joyce Ross said she could not believe her eyes and captured the mess on a video posted to TikTok.

“I came through, and I see Gilligan running around all excited playing, jumping around,” Ross told WTAJ. “He went through each toy one by one to pull out each squeaker, and the ones that didn’t have a squeaker, he pulled out and left alone. … He only wanted the squeakers.”

The first video showing the mess as Ross walked the halls has been viewed 2.5 million times.
“When I went to look, I was so amazed that Gilligan had gone viral,” Bedford County Humane Society manager Janet Gates told WTAJ. “I mean, he was everywhere. We had a lady call and said she would like to buy Gilligan a toy every month for the rest of his life.”

Gates added that Gilligan only created a mess and did not cause any other damage.
