— -- One dog who was gifted a new doggie bed by his owners wasn't deterred from enjoying his new digs even though the bed was entirely too small for him.

Kenny is a 10-year-old golden retriever mix who lives in Elkhart, Indiana.

After he tested out his new miniature bed, his owner Paeton Mathes took a few hilarious photos, which quickly went viral when she posted them to Twitter.

She captioned the photos, "so my mom accidentally ordered an xs dog bed but he's still grateful."

Paeton, a 15-year-old student, told ABC News: "My mom [Heather Stoddard] gets points from work and so she had enough of them to get a new dog bed so our dogs don't have to share, but she didn't check the sizing."

"She thought it was one size, you know," she continued, "and when it came we just put it on the ground and said, 'Here's your bed Kenny!' as a joke and then he got in it."

Since the high school sophomore's tweet has gone viral with more than 64,000 people retweeting and more than 140,000 liking it, she said the family has been approached by three different dog bed companies, asking to treat Kenny to a better bed for his size.

"We just said yes to all three [companies] and we're going to let him choose whichever one he likes and give the other two to an animal shelter," the teen said. "He's very excited."
