Cover Girl Tika the Iggy
Her videos and pictures are glamorous and fun.
By Elise Phillips Margulis
Tika, an Italian Greyhound (IG, hence, Iggy), moved in with her dad Louis as a puppy. A year or so later, Tika gained another dad, Thomas. Their family then grew with the arrival of “two tiny humans.” A puppy named Kala joined the bunch in 2022.
Because her fur is short and she lives in Montreal, Thomas began dressing her in apparel when she was six months old to keep her warm. He noted, “Between the snow, rain, and wind, wearing clothes for protection just became part of life. Now she finds comfort in it and loves the little rituals of getting dressed.”
According to Thomas, Tika wore her first sweater for two years before she became a fashionista. “At age four, her wardrobe started to grow and never really stopped.” One of her videos shows her racks of clothing, and Tika’s wardrobe is more elaborate than most humans’. She has some casual wear, but her designer gowns are marvelous.
