Every dog is just as unique as the human who’s wrapped around their paw. Whether it’s their over-the-top excitement to meet kittens or the heartwarming way they cuddle up before falling asleep, you’ll never meet another pup who’s identical to yours.
That being said, you’ve really never met a dog like Dottie before. This itty bitty spitfire has spunk and sass to spare, but it’s her one-of-a-kind looks that have people talking. She’s a 6-year-old Brussels Griffon with dwarfism, and no one can believe just how tiny she is.
If you ask me, she looks more like a toy than a dog. She really is that little!
@dottiethedwarf When the toy is trying to climb back inside the toy box! 🐻😅 #mischief #dottiethedwarf #griffon #rescuedog #puppy #cute #fyp #foryoupage #pets #dogreels #funnydogs #funnypets #babyanimal #grumpycat #cat #kitten #animals #animalsoftiktok #dwarfism #cutebaby #bestie #viral #dogvideo
Just look at her! Dottie’s toybox is even taller than she is, but she’s not about to let that stop her. When this tiny dog wants something, she’ll be sure to get it!
“Is that a Labubu?” one commenter joked. She’s certainly the size and proportions of one! All that’s missing is a wide smile and a mischievous twinkle in her eye.

Viewers got creative with their nicknames for the Griffon dog, calling her everything from a Pokémon to a baked potato. Whatever she reminds you of, it’s impossible to deny just how adorable she is. It’s no wonder she has so many followers under her spell!
However, no one loves her more than her mama. She takes wonderful care of her special girl! Dottie attends animal physical therapy regularly to help her feel and move her best, but at the end of the day, she’s just a fun-loving dog like any other pup.
@dottiethedwarf Can’t fool a girl with a small but sharp sniffer 😅 she doesn’t work for free … 😂 #griffon #rescuedog #dwarfism #dogzoomies #cutedogs #fyp #grumpycat #foryoupage #viral #viraltiktok #dogreel #dogvideo #funnydogs #jojosiwa #dogmom #chihuahua #dottiethedwarf #pomeranian #viralvideo #viralpetiktok #dogsoftiktok #dog #puppy #puppylove #dogreel
Could she be any sweeter? Dottie has to work hard to step over those tall obstacles, but just like with the toy box, she won’t be stopped by a challenge. This food-motivated dog will do whatever it takes to get to her treat!
“I wish my physical therapy were like this,” one commenter admitted. “I don’t get any sweet treats to encourage me.”
That simply won’t do! Everyone—human, canine, or otherwise—deserves a treat to celebrate accomplishments, no matter how small or mundane they may be.
We’ll always be cheering for you, Dottie!
