Iggy, the dog that launched a thousand tears, is doing fine. In the wake of Ellen DeGeneres’ on-air breakdown over the pup’s forced return to an animal shelter, the Affenpinscher mix is following the TV host’s lead by hitting the airwaves to promote pet adoption awareness. According to an attorney who represents Mutts and Moms, the canine is “doing famously well and in a loving home.” All health and happiness aside, Iggy has probably had to settle for a less-than-Hollywood-ready do since being removed from Ms. DeGeneres’ hairdresser’s loving home.
