Belfast based driving instructor Driving Miss Daisy has been everywhere recently after their Facebook post of a scraggly dog in a car went surprisingly viral. Alison Allen, posted this picture to the Facebook page thinking that it was pretty funny, but little did she know that it would be shared over 5000 times, have over 2,500 comments and garner over 14,000 ‘likes’. It may be to do with the fact that the meme contained a grammar mistake, which no one seemed to be able to help but correct. We’re not entirely sure why this little guy became so popular.

Hi, I'm Laura. I'm 30 years old and have a degree in Journalism with Photo-Imaging at the University of Ulster. I have an undying love for Belfast and all that it has to offer, an undying love for sleeping, Tegan and Sara, trashy tv shows, foreign snack-foods and being irresponsible with money. I also quite like origami, reading, jazz, hip-hop, dubstep, anything acoustic and Food Network TV. I've written for The Big List, Culture NI, Chatterbox and The Echo, as well as writing for BBC Across the Line.
