About
Xiaopang the Chinese Dog, also known as Xiao Pang, 小胖 or Xiǎopàng, refers to an orange-colored Chinese dog named Xiaopang who's viral on TikTok and Instagram. Xiaopang and his owner are known for skit videos in which the owner snitches on him by giving him food and then exclaiming that Xiaopang stole the food. Notable examples center on roast duck, like the Xiaopang, Do You Like Roast Duck? video. Xiaopang often bears his teeth and growls by the end of each video. Discourse spread about Xiaopang possibly being in distress. However, it was revealed that Xiaopang was trained to growl. Xiaopang memes and videos gained cross-platform spread on Twitter / X in mid-2024. Many Xiaopang memes centered on roast duck and the hilarity mixed with the wholesomeness of the animal's online presence. The Instagram and TikTok accounts sharing Xiaopang videos, such as @xiaopang456 and @xiaopang174, were not original accounts. In actuality, Xiaopang's owner posted videos to Douyin (China's TikTok alternative). In Chinese, "xiǎopàng" translates to "chubby."
Origin
Xiaopang the Chinese Dog comes from the Douyin[1] account 请叫我小胖 which has over 525,000 followers on the Chinese app. Xiaopang and his owner live in the Shandong province. In English, Xiaopang is named Chubby or Little Fatty because "xiǎopàng" translates to "chubby" and "xiǎo pàng" translates to "little fatty." By August 16th, 2024, Xiaopang's Douyin account had amassed over 11 million likes across 238 videos.
Videos of Xiaopang from Douyin were reposted outside of the Chinese internet on TikTok[2] starting in July 2023. However, viral reposts didn't surface on the Western web until mid-2024. Currently, the first-known viral repost of a Xiaopang video was shared by TikToker[3] @jiugecoca on April 30th, 2024, gaining over 11.7 million plays and 805,500 likes in four months (shown below).
