His two daughters got him hooked on TikTok. In less than 24 hours, Apodaca racked up 700,000 views and 100,000 likes.
In one week, he has received $10,000 in donations. He’s “feeling blessed,” he says, and plans to spend that money on his parents, car repairs and a new RV.
Before Apodaca AKA Doggface went viral, he had a side hustle. He spent $1,000 of his tax money on an embroidery machine — and learned how to use it — to make beanies to sell.
