A hilarious video of a small Chihuahua popping out of a woman’s tote bag has left the internet in stitches after going viral on social media.
In the footage, shared on TikTok on Sunday, under the username @henningnygaard, the dog’s owner can be seen queuing at the bar to get herself a drink, and everything seems normal until the poster zooms in on her tote bag.
As the camera gets closer, the small dog can be seen popping his head out of his owner’s tote bag, looking around, almost going unnoticed.
The hilarious post comes with a caption that says: “Totebagdog.”

Despite being among the loudest dogs, Chihuahuas are generally considered the smallest in the world, and they’re famous for their ability to fit inside their owner’s bags, like Paris Hilton’s dog did back in the early 2000s.
But if chihuahuas are not for you and you only have limited space at home, there are many more toy dog breeds that you can choose from, according to the American Kennel Club.
The Affenpinscher dog, German for monkey terrier is less than a foot tall, and does great in apartments. However, these dogs do require a moderate amount of activity, like some play time at home or a little walk.
Another small breed, the Cavalier King Charles spaniel, is affectionate, gentle and graceful. They’re perfect for families with children and for owners who don’t have much time for the dog park.
Among other small dogs, one of the most popular has got to be the dachshund, which are smart, independent and sometimes stubborn. Because of their body shape, these dogs don’t need a lot of activity either.
The video quickly went viral on social media, getting viewers from across TikTok. It has so far received over 18.1 million views and 2.9 likes on the platform.
One user, SouthSideSarah37, commented: “Some people don’t understand chihuahuas, the little weirdos love this kind of thing.”
Sophia said: “That baby is so much happier being squished than being home alone.”
User6098913968019 added: “Omg! Love it .. I care for lady who is 99 she told me she used to go to Harrods hide her little dog in fur coat ( but its tail stuck out she got caught…) all fur coat no knickers she says.”
