'Labra-Cadabra': Watch This White Lab Grow Into A Mixed Breed That Catches Mom Completely Off Guard

You never know what you're going to get when you adopt a dog, especially when it's a puppy, as a lot of canine temperament has to do with breed and training. Usually, though, you feel pretty confident about its appearance; a Labrador is going to look like a Labrador, right? Wrong — at least according to this funny Instagram video that's part of a growing trend of people showing off the puppy they thought they got in relation to the full-grown dog they wound up with in the end. 

"Temu Labrador..." the video declares with laughing and heart emojis, as the content creator shows off a cute little white Lab puppy for the camera with the caption, "To the person who sold me a Labrador..." Then, the next shot is of a full-grown dog with short, stumpy legs, with the words "wtf is this??" overlaid. Meanwhile, in the caption, the owner writes, "All jokes aside, Elle is a rescue and is a basset/lab, AKA Bassador."

After watching the video, one silly commenter asked, "Have you tried taking it out of 'landscape' and putting it back into 'portrait'?" as others came up with funny names like "Labrafloor" and "Labradwarf." In the end, that's one cute mixed-breed rescue dog, no matter what!

Across Instagram, TikTok, and other social media platforms, people are currently showing off their "wtf" dogs à la "Temu Labrador" Elle via a viral challenge that unveils the most unexpected final result of a puppy-turned-adult. From short-legged Dalmatians to eye-poppingly giant dachshunds, people have really gotten into showing off their surprising-looking four-legged friends.

On social media in general, people have long made videos showing off their unusual mixed breeds, like this creamsicle-colored dog with a corgi-esque look and this rare Oreo-colored Great Dane mix, leaving little to the imagination as to what a dog could potentially look like. Some are designer hybrid breeds gone wrong, while others are just born of natural selection or accidental cross-breeding, like this rare Great Dane-corgi mix.

Meanwhile, plenty of other pet-centric social media challenges have taken off in recent memory, including the "paws on the wall" challenge, in which people picked their pups up and moved toward a wall to see if the dog was smart enough to put out their paws, or the self-explanatory at-home obstacle course challenge that had people trying to maneuver their dogs through small, strategically stacked and standing items. While these challenges can be fun to participate in, always make sure that your dog is enjoying itself too!
