A blind and elderly chihuahua with just three teeth—and a serious grudge against humanity—has left the internet in stitches.
TikToker Lopai (@blackcow_mu) shared a video of the tiny dog trying to get comfy in bed, capturing hearts across the app. The video, showcasing the grumpy but determined pup, has racked up an astonishing 2.4 million likes and 16.6 million views.
"My parents' 100 years old chihuahua who's blind, has three teeth, hates literally everyone, shakes and refuses to die. Queen never die," reads the text overlaying the viral video.
In the comments, Lopai clarified the pup's age is actually 14 years old. According to the American Kennel Club, a 14-year-old dog would be roughly 76 in human years using its newer age calculation method—which accounts for size specific aging.
Chihuahuas, one of the smallest recognized dog breeds, are known for their big personalities packed into a tiny frame. According to the AKC, they're alert, charming, and graceful, often forming tight bonds with their humans. Despite their small size, they have bold attitudes and can act as surprisingly effective watchdogs.
These traits may contribute to their long lives—chihuahuas are among the longest-living dog breeds. They typically live between 14 and 16 years, according to PetMD.
However, their reputation is a bit more complicated. As Dogster explains, chihuahuas often get a bad rap due to poor training and lack of socialization, which can lead to aggressive or territorial behavior. They're frequently labeled as yappy or mean, even though much of that behavior stems from fear or mishandling by owners unfamiliar with the breed's quirks.

None of this stopped TikTokers from rallying around the sassy senior in the video.
"My chihuahua turning 14 who had a 100 pound dog bite and fall on her, ate chocolate and crayons, has fallen down stairs, beaten up two puppies, fell through my bed and jaw locked because her water was too cold still out here vibing," said one user.
"Queen Chiuauabeth II," quipped another.
"Why do chihuahuas refuse to die," joked Kai.
"My grandparents has had the same chihuahua for 20 flipping years snd she is till standing like a queen QUEEN NEVER DIE," shared another user.
"Main characters never die," said another.
"Chihuahuas are indestructible," added another commenter.
"My dog lived to be like 110 years in dog years," said Ceci.
"My cat was 20 (in human years) when he died," said another user, chiming in with their own tale of long-lived pets.
