8 Idols Whose Little, White Dogs Are The Most Adorable Lookalikes

The stereotype that most idols have little, white dogs is… kinda true. 🐩

One of the biggest running jokes surround K-Pop pets is that almost every idol seems to own the same little, white dog. And, truthfully, the jokes hold a lot of truth. Some of the most popular dog breeds among idols are naturally small with white coats—such as the Maltese, for example. Just take a look at these 8 idols with adorable lookalike Maltese pups.

1. Jisoo (BLACKPINK)

BLACKPINK’s Jisoo has a Maltese dog named Dalgom.
