It’s one thing to have a dog that follows you around the house, and another to have one that quietly lurks until you notice them. That’s the case with Mostly, a fluffy shadow of a Goldendoodle whose favorite pastime seems to be perfecting the art of the silent stare. The video opens with his human outside in the yard while he remains inside, but that doesn’t stop him from keeping tabs.
The way he stalks is so over-the-top it almost feels like he’s putting on a show. He hides most of his body behind the wall, leaving only half a face and one eye peeking through — a scene that’s funny, but also a little unsettling — though his cuteness makes it impossible to take seriously.
Instagram video shows dog has a cute way of stalking owner
The text overlay says it all: “My dog’s toxic trait is how he’ll silently stare at you like this until you give him attention.” Very toxic, very cute. The video is filmed from the yard, where Mostly’s human is. We see Mostly trying to peek, or rather stalk her, from inside the house.
He is standing at the glass door, just looking at her. The funniest part is that he tries to hide his body behind the wall. He is waiting for his human to take notice and give him attention. It’s the kind of stalker move that would be creepy if it weren’t coming from a curly-haired goofball with a wagging tail and a love for peek-a-boo with family.
Goldendoodles tend to be smart, silly, and super people-oriented — the kind of dogs who hate being left out of anything. Mostly’s need for attention and his silent staring are a perfect example of this.
The post has racked up 14.7k likes so far, with people calling out his ‘adorable creepiness.’ One fan joked, “The cutest stalker I’ve ever seen,” while another said, “I hope you drop everything and run to him every time, mom.” We really hope she does, because who can resist that face?
