What\u2019s better than a tiny dog with giant ears? A tiny dog with giant ears who also dresses like a human.<\/p>\n
In 2020, Cassandra Wildberger, from Virginia, USA, rescued puppy Ollie from terrible conditions and offered him a forever home.<\/p>\n
But the Chiweenie (a cross between a chihuahua and a mini-dachshund) quickly became an internet sensation \u2013 thanks to his huge, bat-like ears which \u2018move every which way\u2019 when he listens and flop when he\u2019s tired.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Since Cassandra began dressing Ollie in hundreds of outfits, the pup has gained 200,000 social media followers and even gets recognised in real life.<\/p>\n

It all started when she posted a picture of Ollie in a Facebook group and it quickly went viral.<\/p>\n
\u2018I knew immediately that others thought he was unique and wanted to see more of him,\u2019 she said.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u2018So, I made his Instagram and started making fun videos.\u2019<\/p>\n

Now, three-year-old Ollie\u2019s big, red sunglasses have become iconic.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u2018Ollie loves wearing clothes and sunglasses; clothes give him comfort since he gets cold so easily since he\u2019s so tiny,\u2019 Cassandra said.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u2018When we\u2019re at events, Ollie now gets recognised for his sunglasses.<\/p>\n
\u2018People still notice him for his ears, but his sunglasses are now his signature look.\u2019<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
For the most part, Cassandra says, people love that Ollie is able to live his best life.<\/p>\n
\u2018He\u2019s so small, so people think he looks so cute in his different outfits or when he travels in his stroller,\u2019 she said.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Ollie is a loving dog with a really deep dachshund-sounding bark \u2013 and he\u2019s not afraid to use it.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u2018He\u2019s very protective,\u2019 said Cassandra.<\/p>\n
\u2018He\u2019ll bark at strangers walking by the front window, but then he\u2019ll whine at them because he really just wants them to give him attention.\u2019<\/p>\n
