Pawrents adopt a puppy that doesn't grow, discover her doggy dwarfism gene, meaning that this perfectly pint-sized pupper will remain a puppy permanently

One of the worst parts of owning a puppy is how quickly the puppies grow out of being sweet, innocent babies. In the blink of an eye, they double in size and start having opinions of their own. If you're considering adopting a puppy in the near future, we have one piece of advice for you: cherish it. Take every picture. Enjoy every moment…because it won't last long. Soon enough, your pawdorable puppy will be an angsty teenager arguing with you over a piece of food on the floor and you will long for the days when they would just simply fall asleep in your arms.

That is, unless, you end up adopting a doggo with the "dwarfism" gene. This basically causes your precious pupper to remain a puppy permanently, and although it sounds pawfectly adorable, it does come with its fair share of health complications. One such family adopted a Belgian Malinois as a puppy, and when we wasn't growing any bigger, they found out he had this pupticular gene. Their little baby will remain little forever, and we can't stop looking at how stinking cute they are. Scroll down to see more!

We don't want any more animals to suffer from this genetic condition, but if there happened to be one available for adoption, we wouldn't say no. Sure, it would be a lot of vet visits and checkups…but imagine having a doggo that stays a puppy-sized furever. That sounds like the dream!

She looks surprisingly like our little girl. She's a mix with some Belgian Malinois in her. After her puppy phase, we understood why they call them “maligators”. They really do chomp at everything. Especially your hands. And ankles. And everything else they can get their teeth on.
