An Italian Greyhound named Nori is going viral for what can only be described as full body interpretive chaos. The tiny sighthound discovers a battery operated ball and immediately unlocks what her family calls her “squiggly arms.”

The Italian Greyhound bounces, punches at the air, pops up onto her hind legs, and windmills her delicate little limbs like she’s trying to conduct an orchestra made entirely of chaos. If you have ever wondered what spaghetti would look like if it came to life and chose violence, this is your answer.

The video was shared by @noritheiggyy and the caption reads, “We have finally found a way to ignite Nori’s squiggly arms,” and that feels scientifically accurate. The battery operated ball skitters across the floor and Nori absolutely loses composure in the most unhinged and hysterical way possible.

She punches. She prances. She stands upright and waves those tiny arms around like she’s waving them in the air like she just don’t care. It is spit coffee out of your nose funny.

The comments understood the assignment.

“Killing it with interpretive dance. Interesting tactic.”

“Ma’am… your baby deer is broken.”

“Bro unlocked ‘preying mantis fighting style.’”

“That was a lot of activity with very little productivity much like my workday.”

“She plays in 2x speed.”

“There are sticks flying everywhere!”

“Wave yer arms in the air like you don’t care!”

And truly, how many times did you watch this? Yes.

Italian Greyhounds are known for being elegant, sensitive little athletes. They are built like miniature deer, all long legs and delicate frames. But when excitement hits, that elegance evaporates and you get pure unfiltered noodle energy.

Nori’s arms seem to have a mind of their own. They flail with purpose. They jab at invisible opponents. They windmill with confidence. Meanwhile, the ball rolls around like it has no idea what it has unleashed.

It is chaotic. It is also impossible to stop replaying.

Do Italian Greyhounds Make Good Pets?

Italian Greyhounds are affectionate, loyal, and deeply bonded to their families. They tend to be sensitive and thrive in calm environments where they can snuggle just as much as they sprint. While they are playful and energetic in bursts, they are also champion blanket burrowers who love warmth and closeness.

Because of their delicate build, they need gentle handling and safe spaces to zoom. But for families who appreciate a little dramatic flair mixed with a lot of cuddling, Italian Greyhounds can make wonderfully devoted companions. Just be prepared for the occasional spaghetti arms performance.
