Woman In New Jersey Runs DNA Test On Her Dog And Can’t Believe The Results
When Alexus adopted her new rescue dog, she had no idea he would end up at the heart of a viral guessing game. Here’s the story!
After the loss of her childhood dog, Alexus, an avid dog lover from New Jersey, longed for the kind of companionship she once had.
When she met a black puppy with white-tipped paws, she instantly knew he was the one. She named him Kona, and from day one, he brought endless happiness into her life.
Kona came from Tennessee, traveling alongside his brother in search of a forever home. At just a few months old when Alexus adopted him, he was already bursting with energy. As Alexus shared in an interview:
“He’s a very happy, playful pup who loves being outside, meeting new people, and making new friends at doggy daycare.”
He was growing fast, too. By six months, he was nearly 40 pounds, still growing into his big paws.
At the shelter, they guessed he was a Labrador mix with a bit of golden retriever. But Alexus couldn’t help but wonder – what was he really?
So, like many curious pet owners, she decided to do a DNA test. Just for fun… or so she thought.
The results? They completely surprised her!
Before revealing the results, Alexus thought it would be fun to turn it into a game.
She decided to involve the TikTok community in the mystery, so she grabbed her phone, hit record, and introduced her handsome pup to the world.
In the video, she shared a few details about Kona, like his age and weight, and gave viewers a better look at his adorable face, white-spotted belly, and those playful paws.
After showing Kona off, Alexus invited everyone to guess his breed. She knew the guesses would be all over the place, and she was excited to see the responses, saying:
“To any of the dog lovers out there, would you like to guess what breed my dog is? Because we got his DNA results back, and we were shocked!
With his black coat, white patches, and those big puppy eyes, Kona didn’t exactly resemble one specific breed, which only made the mystery more fun.
To make things even more exciting, Alexus added a playful challenge in the caption, teasing the dog lovers by saying:
“I can guarantee no one will get it 100% right.”
The video quickly went viral, racking up millions of views, thousands of comments, and an outpouring of love from dog lovers worldwide.
People guessed everything from a Bernese mountain dog to a Border Collie. One comment stood out, calling him the “Very Good Boy” breed, which might have been the most accurate guess of all.
Now, let’s see what the DNA results had to say!
Kona turned out to be a mix of Golden Retriever, Siberian Husky, American Bully, and American Pit Bull Terrier.
Still curious, Alexus decided to try another DNA test from a different company.
The second round of results? Nearly the same, with a few minor differences and extra breeds like Labrador retriever, Chow Chow, and Alaskan malamute.
Looks like that fluffy coat and playful personality were no accident after all.
In the end, Kona’s unexpected mix of breeds only adds to his charm, and Alexus is grateful to have such a unique and lovable companion.
Whether it’s his playful personality or his adorable appearance, Kona continues to capture hearts, proving that sometimes the best surprises come in the form of a rescue pup.
