There are plenty of people who think some dog breeds are cuter than others (to each their own), but I know lots of folks like me who melt at the sight of any dog. They're all just so cute! From droopy-eared Basset hounds to fiery Cane Corsos, there's so much to appreciate about each and every canine.
For one tiny Jack Russell Terrier, her little legs make her the star of the show everywhere she goes. The pup's name is Lover Girl, and it's the most fitting name this little dog could have. She's absolutely angelic!
While taking a walk on September 20, Lover Girl's mama, @melissaksims, noticed the cutest thing on the ground--her pup's shadow! The dog's silhouette looked like an adorable cartoon, and no one is getting over it anytime soon.
OMFG! I was so distracted by Lover Girl's tiny self that it took me a moment to look at her shadow. But I'll admit it--it does look like a cartoon dog!
Commenter @janeent noticed "that baby walks just like Snoopy," and many others agree. The only difference is that Snoopy walks on two legs! Another viewer was reminded of '90s TV su-paw-star Wishbone, who actually was a Jack Russell Terrier. There are so many famous dogs she can impersonate using only her body and her shadow--it's no wonder why she has over 2 million followers!
In many of Lover Girl's videos, people can't help but ask about her tiny legs. Is she really a regular Jack Russell? Nope!
This little princess is a 'puddin' Jack Russell Terrier, which means she has achondroplastic dwarfism. Her legs will always be tiny, even when her body is fully grown. As adorable as this may look, the love for short-legged dogs has caused many ill-informed breeders to breed puddin' Jack Russells purposely. These dogs are generally happy and fairly healthy, though their short legs are known to cause a number of health concerns for this breed, including back problems, joint pain, and mobility issues.
Luckily, a responsible dog owner who keeps their puddin' Jack Russell healthy can enjoy a long, happy life with their furry friend. Just look at all the fun Lover Girl has just going on a walk!
