I Bought An Adorable Morkie Dog Online – But Now He Looks More Like A Rat And I Feel Like I've Been Robbed

A WOMAN was horrified when the adorable dog she thought she had bought turned into something quite different.

Amina explained that the breed she meant to buy was was a Morkie - a cross between a Yorkshire terrier and a Maltese.

However, the stunned woman ended up with a rat-like creature instead.

She shares in a TikTok video that she purchased the beast online - but warns others against following suit.

Text written across the screen reads: "what happens when you buy a dog of Craigslist, she's supposed to be a Morkie but looks more like a Rorkie, Rat and Yorkie mix."

Amina then asks the creature: "What are you?" and says to viewers: "Don't ever buy a dog off Craiglist."

The bewildered and bizarre beast she's holding couldn't be further from the desired designer breed.

This dog is a scruffy mutt with a red wiry coat - but Morkies are known for their soft curls of fluffy fur.

Although the shocked owner says she loves the pup, the video is captioned with a hashtag that reads: "I've been scammed," - suggesting she feels slightly hard done by.

The TikTok has prompted positive reactions from Amina's fans.

One wrote: "so cute" and another said: "I want her."

A third was curious and demanded more information, "We definitely need a story time," she wrote.

This is not the first time an owner got a different breed of dog to what they were expecting.

Last week we told how a woman was stunned when what she thought was a rottweiler puppy turned into something else.

She revealed in a TikTok clip that she had brought the cuddly pup online - and at first everything seemed normal.

The tiny creature had the trademark black and tan markings consistent with the breed and appeared to have the same stocky bone structure.

This meant the owner didn't notice anything was amiss until it was far too late.

A similar, but far more dangerous situation occurred when a woman thought she had rescued puppies she found dumped in a cardboard box but they turned out to be a different animal.

She originally believed they were Belgian shepherd puppies but she was horrified when the creatures started to look more like foxes.

Marina wrote in a Facebook post: "Until they were two months old, we thought they were little foxes, but as they grew up, we saw that they were a team of little jackals."

6 Dogs That Look Like Mops

1 / 7

Why are there dogs that look like a mop?

Have you ever seen a particularly shaggy dog at the park, perhaps a dog that looks like a mop, and wondered what breed of dog it could be? Then read on, because we've identified the dog breeds with the most moppish coats. If you think mop dogs are cute, wait until you see these puppies that look like teddy bears.

The mop effect occurs naturally in some dogs and can be developed in others. For natural mop dogs, the undercoat and topcoat combine as they grow to form round, rope-like "cords." Other mop dogs have curly hair, not fur, which will naturally "mat", or combine to form felt-like textures. When separated from the skin, the mats can grow out into that delightful mop-like appearance. Mop dogs don't usually need baths more than 2-3 times a year, and they don't shed or require brushing, but separating the cords regularly is essential to make sure your pooch's mop isn't getting knotted. If you're prone to spills, be sure to keep one of these dogs that look like mops nearby and if you just want a little facial hair, check out these adorable dogs with beards.

When you think of dogs that look like a mop, this shaggy beauty is probably the first image in your head. The Komondor is an ancient Hungarian breed, bred to guard sheep against wolves and poachers. Their adorable mop-like cords protect them from both the harsh Hungarian winter and the sharp teeth of predators. It has the bonus of making them blend in with the flock, meaning any marauding wolf will get a big surprise when that juicy sheep turns out to be an 80-100 pound, very unimpressed mop dog! Speaking of, here are 15 dogs that look like wolves. As guard dogs, Koms are very independent and protective of their families, but their guarding instincts mean they tend to be suspicious of strangers. Koms are a good choice for experienced dog-owning families with older children, as they need plenty of exercise. And those beautiful corded coats? They're naturally occurring! The coat begins to clump at about 9 or 10 months. Splitting the clumps makes them grow out into the sweet moppish cords that make this dog so adorable.

Cavapoo

Can you guess the two purebred dog breeds that make up this adorable little nugget? The Cavapoo, also known as the Cavadoodle is a delightful designer mix of a Miniature or Toy Poodle and a Cavalier King Charles Spaniel. Both parent dog breeds are ideal for families. Poodles are wicked smart and athletic, and Cavaliers are lap-loving cuddle bugs. Just keep in mind that with a mixed breed, the characteristics of the puppy are unpredictable. According to the AKC, both parent breeds are on the smaller size. The Cavalier weighs between 13 and 18 pounds and is around a foot tall. Miniature Poodles weigh about the same, but they're slightly taller. The Toy Poodle is smaller yet, at just six pounds and 10 inches tall. Regardless of how a particular Cavapoo ends up, it will definitely be one of the cutest mixed breed dogs you'll want to bring home.
