Tiny Dog With Dwarfism Looks Just Like A Toy

June 26, 2025

Meet Dottie, a 6-year-old Brussels Griffon with dwarfism who’s stealing hearts around the world.

With her stubby little legs, squishy face, and wide-eyed stare, she looks more like a plush toy than a real dog—and fans online are absolutely obsessed.

People can’t decide what she looks like most: a Pokémon, a baked potato, or a chihuhua-pug-German shepherd in one. One commenter hilariously wrote, "Yup, that fruit bat is so cute."

"That head to body ratio is off the charts," another commented.
