Golden Retriever 'Discovers Bubbles' And His Reaction Is Hilarious On Every Level
If you ever need an easy idea for keeping little kids entertained while out in the yard, just pull out a bottle of bubbles and watch the fun unfold. Who knew that same trick could apply to dogs? Apparently, one dog owner on TikTok did. Just watch as this happy-go-lucky golden retriever has the time of his life catching some backyard bubbles!

Stamped with the caption "POV my dog discovers bubbles," the clip shows the adorably fluffy dog named Zebby waiting for the bubbles to shower down on him so that he can eagerly pop them with his mouth. He starts quickly catching as many as he can while his antics are set to the frantic "Jackass" theme song. Just in case you are wondering why a doggy would be so into soapy, air-filled, floating globes, the original poster notes that he's all over them because they are peanut butter-flavored.
After watching the lively video, people ran to the comments to note just how cute Zebby is while doing his thing, with one person joking, "100% attack 0% damage." A few others mention that their dogs also like to play with bubbles, as one commenter makes a mental note to give it a try with their own pup. Because, yup, you can never go wrong with bubbles!
Backyard activities that are safe for dogs
As demonstrated by the golden retriever on TikTok, dogs can go bonkers for bubbles, and blowing doggy-designated bubbles can be a great game to play with your pooch in the backyard. But what are some other safe, enriching activities that make your yard and garden fun for your dog?
The age-old game of fetch, of course, comes to mind, as does playing frisbee with your furry friend, if they're into that. In hot weather, some dogs like to play games in the water, so setting up a kiddie pool or sprinkler could help entertain them. On the flip side, a sandbox or patch of dirt for digging could prove to be right up your dog's alley. If you're looking for something a little more active and hands-on, you could try setting up an agility course using harmless household items to create obstacles, jumps, and tunnels.
Of course, as a general rule, before letting your dog have free rein in the yard, make sure all plants in the garden are not poisonous to animals, provide shade and water, and always supervise their playtime, especially around chew toys and water. Otherwise, just have fun with it!
