Husky Comes Busting Through The Door As Soon As He Hears His Favorite Show
Every dog has their own unique personality and individual likes, with most dogs getting excited over treats, walks, and pats. But for this husky on TikTok, it's all about Bluey. Yes, a real-life dog is obsessed with a cartoon character, and his pet parent catching his reaction to the show on video is priceless. You won't believe your eyes!
@imbluethesiberiann To be fair he does have the intelligence of a 3 year old human... #dogsoftiktok #dogsoftiktokviral #husky #huskies #dogs
At the start of the clip, the husky's pet parent notes, "My son only responds to one thing..." before turning on the TV. When the "Bluey" theme song plays, the doggy, similarly named Blue, busts through the bedroom door — closes it behind him — and just stares at the show, mesmerized, before settling down onto the bed to take it all in. "To be fair he does have the intelligence of a 3 year old human..." reads the caption.
"Everyone shhh, his show is on," noted one person in the comments, as another pointed out, "And he closed the door 🥰 very respectful, very demure ❤️." Meanwhile, several commenters noted that the creators of "Bluey" used a palette of colors that dogs can recognize, like blue and yellow, as a fun dog-themed nod. And yes, Blue the husky is the same dog who got an incredible birthday surprise based on the show that really made him happy.
Do dogs enjoy watching TV?
While most dogs don't seem to pay much attention to television, some dogs do — with certain owners even leaving a TV on while they're gone to help keep their dog company. However, with reduced visual acuity and dichromatic color vision that only allows them to primarily see shades of blue and yellow, what exactly do dogs see when they watch TV?
For the most part, dogs are drawn to watching other animals, things that move fast, and screen entertainment that features certain sounds. When they are engaged, dogs will often sit close to the screen to see better, and sometimes they might bark and run around in excitement or worry.
As to whether your dog will enjoy watching TV, it all comes down to the individual dog and breed, as differing sight capabilities make a big difference as to whether a dog might be engaged with the television. As a test, you can always pick a show that features active animals like birds, squirrels, or other dogs to see if it piques their interest. And if not, they'll be just as happy to play a game of fetch with you.
