When Susan, a California resident, came across a photo of an adorable little dog, she was instantly smitten. Without hesitation, she knew this pup belonged with her.
Susan visited the shelter and adopted the sweet dog, convinced she was bringing home a Chihuahua. In her excitement, she didn’t pay much attention to the full breed listing provided on the dog’s information chart.
After they settled in at home, Susan’s roommate, Sarah, began to question the dog’s true breed — and that’s when things took a surprising turn.
Introducing Miss Frizzle
From the moment Sarah met Susan’s new dog, Miss Frizzle, she had her doubts. To her, the pup seemed to resemble a Border Collie mix. She voiced her suspicions to Susan.
That’s when Susan, who had been completely sure Miss Frizzle was a Chihuahua, decided to revisit the adoption chart — and what she found caught her off guard.
Miss Frizzle was listed as a Chihuahua and Border Collie mix.
As time went on, the energetic little pup started to show behaviors that seemed straight out of the Border Collie playbook.
She became known for her impressive ability to leap from surfaces and always land on her feet. Sarah also noticed that Miss Frizzle had endless energy and would often perform the classic Border Collie crouch-and-crawl while playing.
Soon, Sarah decided to introduce the spirited pup to her TikTok audience, sharing the funny backstory of how her roommate had believed Miss Frizzle was purely a Chihuahua.
In the video, as the black-and-white pup cautiously approached, Sarah playfully asked how anyone could possibly think she was part Border Collie — a light-hearted jab at how obvious the signs were.
A Pup Who Stole Hearts Online
The TikTok clip quickly went viral, and viewers fell in love with Miss Frizzle’s charm.
People in the comments shared their opinions, with many agreeing that they saw clear Border Collie features in the dog. Some, however, weren’t so sure.
Others chimed in with humorous takes.
“Hey, sorry, that is actually a Chinchilla. Hope this helps!” one commenter joked.
Sarah continued to post updates and videos of Miss Frizzle, and her TikTok followers couldn’t get enough. The pup’s lively spirit and lovable personality captured hearts across the platform.
It became clear that Miss Frizzle had formed a special bond with Sarah. Whenever Susan left for work, the affectionate dog would immediately seek out Sarah for cuddles and companionship — something Sarah was more than happy to give in return.
Regardless of her breed mix, one thing is certain: Miss Frizzle is a delightful dog with a big heart and an even bigger personality. She brought joy not just to her home, but to countless people online who now adore her too.
