However, Aliyah certainly didn't expect to see her puppy undergo such a massive transformation!
The young woman adopted a puppy named Nico. The person who sold him to her claimed he was a grey Labrador.
A complete transformation
Over the months, her adorable pup grew and grew, turning into a dog with an incredibly impressive build... a far cry from the tiny puppy he once was! Aliyah decided to share her confusion on TikTok.
In the first few frames of the video below, we see her sweet little grey puppy looking innocent. Then, in the next clip, we see a massive dog resting his front paws on a child's safety gate. The transformation is absolutely mind-blowing. It turns out Nico looks far more like a Cane Corso than a Labrador! For context, fully-grown Cane Corsos can easily weigh over 100 pounds.
7.5 million fans
On TikTok, viewers were absolutely captivated by this transformation. Some joked, asking which gym Nico had been working out at, while others found the small safety gate in the house hilarious — pointing out that Nico could easily leap right over it. His owner replied that Nico doesn't seem to have discovered that talent just yet...
Nico is still only a young dog, as he isn't even two years old yet. He is still growing. To keep track of his progress, Aliyah has set up a TikTok account dedicated entirely to his adventures. Keep on growing, Nico!
