Ricky Berwick was born with Beals-Hecht syndrome, a physical disability that limits his movements. From a young age, he took to YouTube, making videos as early as 2006, as his profile name "Dog264sVideos". In doing this, he soon noticed that the content and skits never stuck, leading to a hiatus of over nine years from social media. It wasn't until his second attempt at Twitter in the late summer of 2016, where he posted a video of him yelling and eating McDonald's french fries; did he go viral.
