A TikTok user from Surrey, who runs the account @healinghoundz, describes herself as a "crazy dog lady."

The Brit has nine dogs total!

Yet, one of her pups Ted gave her a very special surprise, because when he was purchased, the TikToker was convinced she was taking home a mini dachshund.

"When you pay for a purebreed miniature sausage dog with papers," she said in the TikTok clip, "and you end up with this."

She then transitions cute videos of her teacup puppy, where her small doggo still passes for a dachshund, to what he looks like more grown up as an adult – a dog that is clearly not a purebred mini dachshund.

"We got scammed," she wrote.

The grown-up pup looks more like a Jack Russell Terrier or an Australian Kelpie, according to reports, and the owner likely could have paid up to $2,500 for the pup.

The miniature dachshund mix-up is clear, yet, the dog's owner says it hasn't made much of a difference.

"We love him even more," she wrote.

The video and the pet owner's plight have continued to go viral online, as Ted is looking adorable regardless.
