Tuna is the beloved Chiweenie with the iconic overbite, recessed jaw, and legendary shrivelneck who captured hearts around the world after his Instagram account, @tunameltsmyheart, went viral in 2012. His mom, Courtney, adopted him as a puppy in 2010 from a farmers market in Los Angeles. A year later, she created his Instagram account simply for fun and with no intention of garnering a following.

Through his social platforms, Tuna has become an ambassador for pet rescue, and Courtney has helped raise awareness and support for animal rescue organizations while sharing Tuna's unique personality, unconventional looks, and his journey from rescue pup to internet icon. As the ultimate underdog (with an overbite), Tuna has inspired millions with the message that true beauty captivates our hearts- not just our eyes.

Tuna is also widely recognized as the inspiration behind the viral meme "Phteven", which became a beloved part of internet culture and introduced his unforgettable smile to millions more around the world.

This new collection of Tuna and Phteven mugs & apparel was created for fans who have followed Tuna's journey over the years and helped turn his story into something much bigger than Courtney ever imagined. Each design features Tuna's iconic profile, with a name tag distinguishing whether he's Tuna or Phteven. These products celebrate the joy, laughter, and community that have made Tuna- and his alter ego, Phteven- a one-of-a-kind internet icon.

A portion of every purchase helps support animal rescue efforts and organizations.
