Meet 21-year-old Marissa Hooper and her 2-pound Chihuahua, Dixie. They're from Texas.

Marissa's mom, Kathryn, told BuzzFeed News that the first time a photo was replaced it took her a few weeks to notice. “It was kind of embarrassing," she said. She discovered the Dixie photo swaps when a friend was over.
This past weekend, the college student pranked again, replacing her high school graduation photo.
