Crusoe the Celebrity Dachshund: From Backyard to International Superstar

Crusoe's rise to fame began in a typical suburban backyard in California. He was just a regular dachshund, enjoying the sun and playing with his family.

Crusoe's owner, Jessica, started sharing photos of him on social media, and to their surprise, he quickly gained a huge following. His adorable face and charming personality captured the hearts of many.

Crusoe's social media presence grew rapidly, and he soon became a beloved celebrity. He has amassed over 3.5 million followers on Instagram alone.

Crusoe was born in Quebec province, Canada. He originally came from a breeder in Montreal who has since stopped breeding.

He was originally called Tuscan by his breeder and was the last puppy from his litter to be adopted. He loves going on adventures, which is why he's named after fictional character Robinson Crusoe.

Crusoe lived in Mont Tremblant, Quebec, for the first two years of his life before moving to Ottawa, Ontario. His owners are Ryan Beauchesne and Laurence "Lauren" Dionne.

Crusoe has a half brother, Oakley, who visits him a few times a year, but doesn't live with him. Oakley has a sister named Daphne, a long-haired shaded cream dachshund, who was adopted by the family in the summer of 2019.

Crusoe started his blog, Celebrity Dachshund, in 2011, originally intending "Celebrity" to be a sarcastic moniker.
