SHE’S going, going… gone!
Footage of a puppy falling over after dozing off has been viewed 20 million times on the internet.
The short clip has turned cute Labrador Holly into a worldwide sensation.
Television crews – including a team from US-based news channel CNN – have been bombarding Holly’s owners in South Queensferry with requests for interviews.
Smitten dog lovers have also been desperately trying to offer the adorable five-week-old pup a home.
Owner Ian Paterson, 46, is bowled over by the massive attention the little pooch has unwittingly prompted.
“We are getting calls from big American news stations chasing us for interviews,” he laughed last night.
“Who knew the world would go crazy for one of our pups?”

The five-second video was filmed by Ian’s son Kris last Sunday.
Kris, 19, said: “I filmed it on the spur of the moment as Holly was sitting on the living room floor.
“She just sat there struggling to stay awake then fell over on her side.
“I stuck it on Twitter and actor Zach Braff from the TV comedy drama Scrubs retweeted it.
“After that it went crazy, with the entire world wanting to see it.”
Around 20 million have watched the clip in just a few days – with the number expected to rise.
Kris, an IT student at Edinburgh College, added: “In between all that we have been rushed off our feet looking after the litter who seem determined to take over our house.
“We have not had time to get back to CNN.”
In the meantime, mum Millie is making a good job of looking after her first litter consisting of Holly, Mini-Max, Tyrone, Shelby, Oscar, Lucky, Ivy, Cooper and Prince.
“It will be sad to see them leave,” added Ian. “They’re all extremely cute.”
