When considering dog adoption, most people typically focus on a pup’s age and breed, with breed often being the most significant factor. Personally, I have a preference for adopting specific breeds, which is entirely acceptable. After all, a dog’s compatibility with its new family is what truly matters.
When a woman from Florida adopted her dog, Rocco, she believed he was a Black Labrador. Rocco came from a family unable to care for him and had somewhat unfriendly siblings, prompting Muth to give him a second chance.
A Surprising Revelation
After some time in her new home, Muth began to notice strange changes in Rocco’s appearance, such as wrinkles that were unusual for a Labrador. Concerned, she took him to a veterinarian in Florida, where she received shocking news—he was likely more Cane Corso than a Labrador. This revelation surprised Muth, as his growing appearance began to differ significantly from what she initially believed.
Never having owned a Cane Corso before, the transition was a change for Muth and her family who were accustomed to Corgis, but they were more than happy as Rocco proved to be an incredibly adorable companion.

Following Rocco’s surprising revelation, Muth shared a video about his breed on TikTok and was overwhelmed by the positive responses. One comment read, “He’s beautiful. He doesn’t understand he’s not what you wanted. I can understand your surprise; that would just make me hug him more.” Despite the unexpected news about his breed, Muth loves Rocco just the same for being the sweetest puppy ever, and another comment noted, “You have won the lottery – but be prepared to have a constant shadow following you for the next decade.”
It’s well-known that Cane Corsos are excellent guard dogs, and Rocco is sure to protect his family. In response to Muth’s story, someone remarked, “My mom adopted a black lab from a shelter lol. Maybe 3 weeks later it was clear that he was a pit bull.” This just goes to show that unexpected situations can happen to anyone.
Ultimately, regardless of the breed, one thing is clear: if you show love to your puppy, they will love you back. Cherish every moment with them.
