How much is your dog worth? For most pet parents, the answer is simple: priceless. But what if someone actually put a jaw-dropping number on it?
That’s exactly what happened to Alexis Elliott (@itsalexiselliott), a devoted dog mom from Los Angeles. In a now-viral TikTok video with over 950,000 views, Alexis shared how a stranger once offered her an eye-watering $200,000 for her Doberman Pinscher puppy.
Her reaction? A resounding, “Absolutely not!”

In the clip, she turns to her audience and asks:
“Would you guys sell your dog for $200K? Like, that is my baby!”
The video instantly sparked a fiery debate in the comments. Some people thought she was crazy for saying no.
“That dog would’ve been outside in a second—I can get another dog,” one person admitted.
Another declared, “It’s a crime to not accept $200K.” Someone else joked, “In this economy? I wish I had a litter of puppies to sell for that much.”
But not everyone agreed. Many were horrified by the thought of giving up a furry family member for any price.
“I live and breathe for my dogs. They are my CHILDREN. Would you sell your child for $200K? NO!” one person passionately wrote.
Another added, “ABSOLUTELY NOT. The people saying yes should not even have a dog, tbh.”
And then there was the heartbreaking reality check from a third:
“Omg, never. The thought of my dog being confused and feeling abandoned breaks my heart.”
For those who need a palate cleanser after all this talk about selling pets, let’s shift gears to a pup who stole hearts in the best way possible.
Meet Burreaux, a black Labrador puppy who captured hearts at the Humane Society of Northwest Louisiana. According to The Mirror, Burreaux had a unique talent—he smiled at visitors.
His adorable little grins melted the hearts of one lucky couple, and before long, he found his forever home.
So, just in case anyone still needed a reminder: dogs are the absolute best.
Would you have taken the $200K? Or would you stand firm like Alexis? Drop your thoughts in the comments! 🐶💰
