A woman who thought she'd picked up her aunt's dog from day care has left the internet in stitches with the realization she made shortly after.
When Anna Dinh was asked to collect her aunt's dog, Benny, she was more than happy to oblige. How hard could it be to show up at the doggy day care and collect the pup after a full day of playing and being a certified good boy?
As it turns out, it wasn't as straightforward as she hoped it would be. Shortly after getting the dog back home, Dinh noticed that Benny looked slightly different.

Instead of having brown fur all over, he had patches of black fur too, which she'd never seen before. Then came the realization: she'd collected the wrong dog.
Instead of picking up Benny, Dinh had accidentally taken home Benito, another dog, who looks very similar.
Dinh shared the hilarious situation in a TikTok post (@annaa_d444), which has gone viral, with over 1.3 million views and 201,200 likes at the time of writing. Social media users can't get enough of the minor mishap, leaving plenty of people in hysterics.
Newsweek has contacted Dinh via Instagram for comment.

Soon after realizing the mistake, Dinh took poor Benito back to the day care facility before finally collecting Benny. When they finally got the right dog home, Benny didn't look too pleased about the mix up.
Alongside the hilarious slideshow on TikTok, the caption joked: "Sorry Benito, you were super cute [though]!"
The final photo in the slideshow shows Benny looking rather happy to finally be on the way home after being made to wait a little while longer.
The TikTok Reaction
While Dinh certainly wasn't expecting to take home the wrong dog that day, the slight mishap has undoubtedly left her with an amusing tale to share in the future. Fortunately, it wasn't long before she was reunited with Benny, and Benito was returned to the doggy day care to be collected by his rightful owner.
After sharing the experience on TikTok, social media users have lauded the hilarious mistake, leading to more than 250 comments on the viral post already.
One comment reads: "He accepted that he was kidnapped."
Another TikTok user wrote: "The way Benito is clearly uncomfortable, and Benny was comfortable with y'all."
"Benito looked so disappointed in you," joked another commenter.
While other pet owners shared their own similar experiences, as one commenter added: "No, because one time at the vet they showed me two different pugs before they got it right. I'll never send anyone else to pick her up."
