Set to a kids' song that encourages participants to "wiggle your ears" and "stomp! stomp!", the pup named Buck is shown lying on the ground with his owner, who flips and flops his ears back and forth and stomps his paws to the beat. Despite his adorable ears, it was his big, fluffy feet that sent commenters over the edge, including one person who said: "the giant toe beans 😍 I cannot even deal omg." Meanwhile, Buck is so cute and compliant in the video that several people questioned whether he was a real dog or a giant stuffed animal, only proving that he's one adorable pup!
Bernese mountain dogs are gentle giants
Bernese mountain dogs, also nicknamed Berners, are famous for being calm, good-natured pets. Just look at the easygoing pup in the TikTok video who doesn't seem to mind his owner making him dance. Originally bred as farm dogs in the Swiss Alps, Berners are renowned family pets, forming strong bonds with people and generally being good with kids and other pets.
Despite their striking size that usually sees them weighing in anywhere between 70 and 115 pounds, they are highly affectionate, eager to please, and typically docile. They can also be very puppy-like, exhibiting rambunctious behavior often associated with smaller dog breeds. At the same time, while they need exercise and enjoy walks, they can sometimes be lazy, just lounging around without a care in the world, like this Bernese mountain dog who waits for the mailman.
While a lot of their personality has to do with their breed, training and socialization are also important, as with any pet. But overall, if you're wondering what type of dog to get if you have kids or other pets, a Bernese mountain dog can make a great companion for the right family!
