Many people visit IKEA furniture stores not just to buy furniture, but also to pick up plush toys, which are a must-have item for many. The familiar shark, gorilla, and dog plushies are certainly not strangers to anyone. Recently, on Instagram, a real dog that closely resembles IKEA's small dog plushie has gained a lot of attention!
Although the breeds are different—IKEA's original design is based on a Golden Retriever—the resemblance is striking. This Korean dog, named Litchi (@litchi_191125), is a mix of a Cocker Spaniel and a Poodle, which explains why its fur texture differs from that of a typical Poodle.
A video of Litchi on Instagram Reels has gone viral with over 12 million views, captivating everyone with its cuteness. Shot from a low angle, Litchi's adorable appearance, with its naturally swaying ears, looks just like a dog plushie—a canine version of a teddy bear.
It seems Litchi is a pampered pup, with a stunning view from its home window. The video's popularity showcases how much people love this adorable dog, which has become an internet sensation.
