Tiny White Pup’s Floppy Ears Turn Her Into a Bunny‑Like Adorable Companion

Rescued mixed‑breed dogs often become the best companions because they bring a blend of unique looks and personality traits. This tiny white pup, Sage, caught attention with her unusually large ears that have remained unchanged for almost two years.

The TikTok clip, posted by @brookeandsage, shows Sage from a very young age with big, perky, hairy ears. The caption reads, “Everyone said Sage would grow into her ears…so we waited…and waited,” and the video ends with Sage nearly two years older, her ears still the same size.

Viewers dubbed her “the cutest little gremlin” and “an escapee from Fraggle Rock.” Some commenters noted her ears resembled those of a papillon, but a DNA test confirmed no papillon ancestry. Regardless of the comparison, there’s no denying she’s an adorable dog.

Quick Tips for Caring for Your Dog’s Ears

Keeping your dog’s ears healthy is simple and can prevent more serious issues down the road. Check them regularly and clean gently when needed.

Use a dog‑safe ear cleanser, cotton balls or gauze, and reward your pup with a treat afterward. Avoid hydrogen peroxide, alcohol, or cotton swabs like Q‑tips, as they can dry out or irritate the delicate skin inside your dog’s ears. If you notice a strong odor, discharge, redness, swelling, white bumps on the ear flap, excessive head shaking, scratching, or any sign of discomfort when you touch the ears, contact your veterinarian.

Regular ear care only takes a few minutes but can make a big difference in your pup’s comfort, health, and overall well‑being. Healthy ears mean a happier pup — because how else are they going to hear you crinkle a potato chip bag from the other room of the house?
