The first six months of a puppy’s life are often some of the cutest and most special. Do they poop and pee everywhere? Yes. Do they whine at night? Sometimes. Do they have baby shark teeth that feel like little needles? Affirmative. But they’re also so fluffy, cuddly, loving, rambunctious and silly.
TikTok user @shegracious recently published a one-minute video documenting the first six months of their baby chow chow, Bonnie. And it, of course, is melting hearts online while racking up millions of views.

Chow Chow’s First 6 Months in a Minute
The video opens with the caption, “My Chow Chow puppies first 6 months,” and shows Bonnie, with the cutest bow in her hair, being held on a human’s lap. It might be the fluffiest thing you’ve seen all week. Next, Bonnie is splayed on the floor in a superhuman style, getting some chin scratches and slowly wagging her tail. Then she’s lying on her back in her human’s legs, getting some belly rubs.
Then we get to see Bonnie in her bed, rolling upside down on her back, being silly on the floor, running around, scratching her nose, back in her bed, wagging her tail, hanging out with one of her buds, crawling up on a couch, sunbathing, and snuggling. Basically, all of the fun and adorable puppy stuff!
Originally from Northern China, chow chows are probably one of the most unique, cute and fluffy-looking dog breeds. The breed is known for its dense, double coat, which can be smooth or rough. Chow chows are extremely loyal and intelligent. While they’re often described as “aloof,” chow chows are fiercely loyal and loving to their people and family.

While chow chows are very adorable, loyal, and loving dogs to their owners, they may not be the best choice for families with small or loud children or first-time dog parents. They get big—usually 45 to 70 pounds—and require regular grooming, plenty of socialization, and training. They can also be very stubborn.
But for experienced dog parents, adults and families with older children at home, they can be excellent companions. They are incredibly loving and affectionate toward those around them, making them great companions for single adults and couples.
