Some dogs are bold, others are sneaky — and then there are the little ones who manage to be both at once. Penny, a pint-sized Chihuahua in a bright party dress, becomes the unexpected star of her friend’s birthday bash when she proves that size (or teeth) really don’t matter. This popular Instagram video is a hilarious look at a dog who knows what she wants. And who will do whatever it takes to get it, even if she has to steal it.
Chihuahua smartly bites into a bigger piece of birthday cake in video
The video has now racked up over 11,000 likes, with fans laughing at Penny’s “blink-and-you-miss-it” cake heist. It starts at a doggie birthday party where we see Penny in a bright dress. She goes up to her human politely enough to get a taste of the birthday cake.
The on-screen text says, “Watch my tiny old toothless Chihuahua steal a whole piece of doggie birthday cake.” Her human offers her a small bite of the cake, which she takes. But Penny has other plans. The moment her nose gets close enough, she latches onto the entire slice, stunning her human, who admits later, “Basically handed her that cake tbh.”
Her owner tries to salvage the piece with one hand while still holding the plate in the other, but it’s too late — Penny has made her move. The owner even adds that she was a little afraid that Penny might choke. But Penny quickly runs away with the piece of cake. The room bursts into laughter as the tiny “cake thief” sprints off, proving she’s got quick thinking and faster reflexes.
Fans couldn’t get enough. One joked, “It fell into her mouth!” while another said, “Very on brand! My Chihuahua did this with a donut.” Others adored her little dress almost as much as her boldness, with one commenter summing it up perfectly: “She saw the opportunity and baby she TOOK IT.” Looks like Penny’s not just a guest at the party — she’s the headline act.
