California Woman Adopts A Tiny Rescue Dog And Finds Out It’s Not What She Thought
Susan’s day started like any other, scrolling through adoption listings when a tiny dog caught her attention.
The little pup looked exactly like a classic Chihuahua: small, sweet, and full of personality.
Susan couldn’t resist the photo and rushed to the shelter to meet her in person. The moment their eyes met, she knew she had found a new best friend.
She brought the pup home and named her Miss Frizzle, after the quirky character from The Magic School Bus. The name fit perfectly; playful, curious, and full of life.
But it didn’t take long for Susan’s roommate, Sarah, to notice something a little… off.
Sarah started to question if Miss Frizzle was really a Chihuahua.
Watching her bound across the apartment with unexpected agility and focus, it clicked: there had to be some Border Collie in there.
Susan laughed at first. After all, Miss Frizzle was tiny, and Border Collies are usually bigger.
But Sarah had her doubts. And the more she watched, the more the signs became clear.
Eventually, Susan started to see it too. From her crouched stance when playing to her endless energy and sharp focus, Miss Frizzle’s behavior screamed Border Collie.
Curious, Susan checked the adoption chart again and realized she had overlooked it in her excitement: Miss Frizzle was indeed a Chihuahua/Border Collie mix.
Suddenly, everything made sense.
Miss Frizzle’s quirky mix and lovable personality quickly captured hearts beyond the household.
Sarah started posting videos of her on TikTok, poking fun at the “Chihuahua or Border Collie?” confusion.
In her first video, she asked: “How can you tell she’s a Border Collie?” as the pup cautiously came toward the camera. The video quickly went viral.
Viewers were instantly smitten. They noticed Border Collie traits like her coloring, her herding crouch, and boundless energy.
Others joked endlessly, calling her everything from a “Chinchilla” to a “guinea pig herder.”
Her TikTok fame only grew as Sarah shared more clips of Miss Frizzle zooming around the house, snuggling on the couch, and showing off her playful antics. The internet couldn’t get enough of her.
Even more heartwarming was the bond she developed with Sarah. Every morning, Miss Frizzle would trot straight to Sarah for snuggles. While Susan was her owner, Sarah had become her chosen companion too.
No matter what her exact breed is, Miss Frizzle is totally one-of-a-kind. She might have started out as a tiny shelter dog with a mystery mix, but she quickly won everyone over.
Now she’s not just a beloved family member; she’s a little internet star, too. Her story proves that you don’t need a breed label to be loved.
