Hearts Melt at Frenchie So Small She Fits in Owner’s T-Shirt—’Pocket Puppy’

A precious Instagram video that has gained over 50 million views has melted hearts as an owner showed how tiny puppies can be.

The Tiny Frenchie Revealed

In an Instagram video shared by user @dillon_jim on March 20, a person filming asked what was hiding in the man’s shirt. His hands were around the pocket on his chest as support to what was being held inside. He then slowly revealed a tiny, black object.

As it turns out, the little object was a 4-day-old French bulldog puppy. The pup was so small he fit right inside the shirt pocket. The caption reads: “It’s a pocket Frenchie!”

The man with the pocket Frenchie pointed out the tiny ears on the puppy’s head as the camera inched closer to the puppy. Then he moved the head to show the puppy’s face. As the person in the clip said, this Frenchie was smaller than a mouse.

Understanding Puppy Growth

The video puts into perspective how tiny puppies can grow. A French bulldog goes through about seven growth stages and will reach full height after around a year and a half, according to the Canine Journal.

In a French bulldog’s first two weeks of life, they are between one and three pounds in weight. They’ll grow to three and seven pounds in the first month. Full adult Frenchies should be between 11 to 13 inches tall and weigh no more than 28 pounds.
