But there's more to this pup than just cuteness.
She doesn't shed at all, making her an absolute dream for allergy sufferers and clean freaks alike.
Honey is a Pomapoo, a cross between a Pomeranian and a Poodle, and she's got nearly 30,000 fans swooning over her cuddly good looks.
With her tiny size and teddy-like fluff, it's no wonder the internet has fallen in love.

One TikTok user gushed: 'So cute!'
Another dubbed her: 'the most perfect dog.'
Others chimed in with 'Looks like a teddy bear' and 'She's unreal.'
Pomapoos are what's known as a "designer dog".
They're a mix of two breeds, combining the smarts and low-shedding coat of a Poodle with the playful, outgoing personality of a Pomeranian.
The result is a clever, affectionate little companion who loves cuddles as much as a game of fetch.

Standing just eight to 12 inches tall, Pomapoos are perfect for flats or houses alike.
But don't be fooled by their tiny size, they've got big personalities and love being the centre of attention.
Honey's owner shared her adorable antics on TikTok, showing her prancing around like she owns the place.
But while this mix is winning fans left and right, not everyone in the dog world is sold on the poodle cross trend.
One dog groomer has warned that these 'doodles' – crosses like Goldendoodles, Bernedoodles and yes, Pomapoos – can be a bit of a nightmare if not properly cared for.
Emma Badgley, a professional groomer, says many owners underestimate just how high-maintenance these breeds can be.
'Doodle owners are often clueless about the grooming needs,' she moaned in a post on Quora.
'Some of the most matted dogs I've ever seen have been doodles – and trying to groom them when they're knotted and wriggly is seriously stressful.'
She added that big poodle mixes like Goldendoodles and Saint Berdoodles can be especially tough, because they've got the energy of a toddler and coats that demand constant brushing.
Even smaller breeds like Pomapoos aren't completely fuss-free.
If they inherit the Poodle's curls, they'll need regular grooming to stop their hair turning into a tangled mess.
