Mini Dachshund Sees Her Reflection For The First Time & Her Reaction Is Priceless
We're all guilty of walking by a mirror and checking ourselves out, for better or worse. But have you ever thought you looked so cute that you playfully attacked your reflection? That's exactly what this adorable mini dachshund named Meli did when she saw her own reflection for the very first time, energetically hopping and pawing at the glass, even letting out a little yip of excitement. It's a TikTok video that's too cute to ignore!

"First time seeing herself in a mirror," the clip declares, adding that "the little bark" is what really tugs at the heartstrings of the original poster — and certainly anyone watching. "She's happy cause now she knows how cute she is," says one viewer, with another joking, "[S]he prob saying stop mimicking me 😭." Meanwhile, plenty of others were simply saying "cute!" and "awww." We couldn't agree more with these comments on just how adorable Meli is!
Mini dachshund characteristics
Miniature dachshunds are literally just an even smaller version of a standard dachshund, which are pretty small to begin with! While standard dachshunds can weigh anywhere from 16 to 32 pounds, minis usually clock in under 11. Both have long, low-slung bodies and stubby legs that lead them to sometimes being called "wiener dogs." Each makes a great pet!
Both breeds share the same smart but stubborn personality, with other common personality traits including having high energy, a tendency to bark, and strong loyalty. Originally bred for hunting small prey, dachshunds are prone to having a "big dog in a little body" personality, often presenting as overly brave and defiant despite their small stature, making them excellent little watchdogs. Best of all, though, they are cute and spirited, just like Meli from the TikTok video who can't get enough of her own adorableness!
