A dachshund has gone viral after delivering just one pup, in a phenomenon known as a "singleton puppy," and internet viewers can't get enough.

Mena ( @jiiiimenam ) shared a viral video of the new mom and her lone puppy, which has already garnered more than 473,000 likes and over 1.8 million views on TikTok .

" My dachshund delivered only one puppy. It's very rare and it is called a singleton puppy," Mena wrote in the text overlaying the clip. The footage features a heartwarming montage of the newborn black pup being groomed by its blonde-colored mom, showing the tiny dog's very first days of life.
