New Jersey Woman Runs A DNA Test On Her Dog, What She Learns Leaves Her In Shock
Alexus thought she was simply adopting a puppy, but instead, she stumbled into a story that would capture the internet’s attention and turn into a viral guessing game.
After saying goodbye to the dog she grew up with, life felt a little emptier. That changed the moment she spotted a black pup with tiny white-tipped paws.
She brought him home, named him Kona, and from that day forward, he turned her world bright again.
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 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’s DNA test revealed quite the mix: Golden Retriever, Siberian Husky, American Bully, and American Pit Bull Terrier.
But Alexus’s curiosity didn’t stop there. She sent off another sample to a different company, just to be sure.
The second results came back almost identical, with just a few extras tossed in, like Labrador Retriever, Chow Chow, and even a touch of Alaskan Malamute.
No wonder his fluffy coat and lively spirit stand out so much!
In the end, Kona’s blend of breeds just makes him all the more special, and Alexus couldn’t be happier to have such a one-of-a-kind pup by her side.
