The saying "all bark and no bite" takes a twist in this unique and heartwarming story of a dog that has "all squeak and no bite." Ashley Woolfenden's Chiweenie, a hybrid of a Chihuahua and Dachshund, captivated the hearts of many in a viral TikTok video. In the clip, the little dog appears to howl, though the sound is actually from a siren in the background. The October 5 video accumulated a remarkable 1.7 million views, stirring emotions across the internet.

The video is overlaid with words expressing a poignant sentiment: "POV: You haven't been able to bark or howl your whole life, but you still try." While the pup does make a sound eventually, it's unlike a typical dog bark. "He really does try so hard," Woolfenden noted, clarifying that she didn't alter his voice; he was born this way. She even posted an older video from his puppy days where he emits a toy-like squeak.

Ashley shared in the comments that her furry friend has always been this way, having a "broken bark" for the past nine years. Veterinarian Dr. Anna Foreman, interviewed by Newsweek, explained that it's uncommon for dogs to lose their voice, though changes in pitch due to larynx issues are possible and warrant a vet visit. Dr. Foreman, who consults for Everypaw Pet Insurance, mentioned that dogs might lose their voice if they bark excessively or may remain mostly silent due to learned behavior, especially if they are around silent canines.

Garnering 424,000 likes and almost 3,400 comments, the video touched people deeply. Comments poured in with messages of support, including praise for the Chiweenie's funny "lip-syncing" skills. Some, captivated by the dog's efforts, were moved to tears. While Newsweek reached out to @ashleywoolfie for more details, the story highlights widespread empathy for a little dog who gives it his all despite his unique quirks.
