Senior Yorkie Who Still Looks Like a Puppy Leaves Everyone Amazed

As a pet owner, watching your dog grow can bring immense joy, but it can also come with its share of heartache. It’s wonderful to see how quickly they pick up new skills and how much they grow, but with the passing years, it becomes clear that they’re aging, bringing you closer to the inevitable farewell. As they slow down, one of the most noticeable signs of aging is the change in their appearance, just as it is with people.

For many dogs, this means a graying face, with some fur even turning white. Yes, even dogs don’t escape gray hairs as they grow older. But there’s one exception: the Yorkshire Terrier in this TikTok video, who, despite his advanced age, still looks like a puppy!

In a video shared by @katsutheyorkie, we get to see the birthday boy himself, a 14-and-a-half-year-old Yorkie. His mom points out that every birthday is worth celebrating, including the half ones.

Enjoy the video below:

Even though he’s nearing 15 years old, he still looks like a puppy. His youthful face surely plays a part in that, and how cute is that little tongue hanging out of his mouth?

At his age, he’s certainly earned the right to be pampered. It’s heartwarming to see his family celebrate his half birthday, complete with a special bowl of doggie birthday cookies. No one is ever too old for a treat!

Though he still looks young, Katsu may not feel as spry as he once did. In the comments, his mom mentioned that he’s dealing with hearing and vision loss, and he no longer has his teeth. However, he seems to be managing just fine.

More About Katsu the Yorkie

Katsu’s owner, Christine Hsu, shared with The Dodo that she adopted him when he was just 11 months old, sneaking him into her dorm room at the time. Once discovered, Katsu went to live with her parents. After Christine graduated, her parents tried to keep him, but she found it difficult to be away from him for those years — and who can blame her with that sweet face?

Katsu has since become a social media sensation, amassing over 200,000 followers on TikTok. It’s clear Christine isn’t the only one who adores him. Despite his age, she’s dedicated to making sure Katsu enjoys an adventurous life.

“I try to take him everywhere with us,” Hsu shared with the site. “He goes on road trips, loves going on walks — he’s a great walker — enjoys bike rides, and we’ve even done a lot of hiking this year.”

Kudos to Katsu and his mom! Here’s hoping he celebrates many more birthdays to come.
