A video of a woman reacting to an unusual dog mix she spotted while on her delivery route quickly went viral on TikTok.
Zyresha, who is known on TikTok as @thisthatzshit_, went about her day, business as usual, delivering packages in West Virginia. However, she told Newsweek via TikTok that she “took off running” when trying to place a package at one front door after hearing a frighteningly loud bark.
That was enough to send her fleeing to her car where she immediately started filming to see what kind of dog had scared her away. Soon enough, the “beast” revealed himself and she couldn’t believe what she saw strutting down the driveway and into the street.
She caught her initial reaction to seeing this unusual dog “walking with a purpose” on camera and posted to her TikTok last week. She was stunned by what crossbreeding occurred to create the “cute little body and big head dog” she saw. However, she also noted that she believes people should stop thinking they are all dog breeders.
She wrote in the video’s comment section that she had “never seen anything like him” before.

Zyresha originally thought the dog was a mix between a Rottweiler and some Chihuahua or wiener dog, but she now believes he is some type of a micro bully after several people were “quick to correct” her analysis. She said several people sent her direct messages with pictures and videos of their own micro bullies.
A micro bully is a smaller version of the American bully breed. These dogs still possess the American bully’s stocky physique and loyalty. Micro bullies emerged after two decades of selective breeding the most petite American bullies, an article from New Pitbull stated.
Viewer Reactions
The TikTok video amassed over 4.6 million views, 482,700 likes and 1,105 comments within a week of posting. Like Zyresha, viewers couldn’t believe the dog’s unique and unexpected characteristics, but thought he was still “so cute.”
“Scrappy doo in real life,” commented a viewer, while another added: “Dog genetics are hilarious.”
A third person jokingly said: “He looks just as confused as we do.”
