Being an animal lover, I often find myself going down a rabbit hole on TikTok of pet videos and there's a pup in Fort Myers that has found fame on the popular social media site.

GQ is a 6 year-old pitbull owned by Jennifer Mitchell of Fort Myers. She owns a grooming business called "Pups N Paradise" where she has decked GQ out in leopard spots with paint specifically designed for animals. That unique look, along with some gold chains and a lavish lifestyle, has led to some new-found fame and Jennifer told NBC2 that she hopes to raise awareness about safe ways to style your dog and leads to more acceptance for pitbulls.
