Between cramped seats and long hours, flights can feel dull — but Ritchie, a fluffy Great Pyrenees, managed to make the journey downright joyful. The gentle giant boarded alongside his mom, instantly charming the flight attendants and fellow passengers with his calm, regal presence. Ritchie isn’t just a big dog — he’s a natural crowd-pleaser, carrying himself with a laid-back confidence. It makes him look like the frequent flyer that he is. By the time he settled into his seat, he wasn’t just another passenger; he was the star of the cabin, making everyone’s day brighter.
Adorable big dog shows great behavior during flight in cute video
The video has taken off online, collecting more than 27k likes as dog lovers swoon over Ritchie’s in-flight manners. It starts with him calmly boarding, tail wagging, as attendants greet him like an old friend.
Then comes the highlight: the flight attendant presents Ritchie with a tray of cheese and crackers. Watching a huge ball of white fluff calmly nibble on airplane snacks can and should make everyone stop and smile. It truly is the kind of video that makes you wish airlines offered a ‘dog row’ on every flight.
As the cabin lights dim, his mom offers him another piece of cheese, which he takes ever so gently, proving why big breeds often get called “gentle giants.” The on-screen text hints at the next chapter (“now we all know what’s gonna happen”), joking about what cheese might mean later in the flight. But in the moment, it’s pure sweetness — Ritchie munching like he’s dining first-class.
Viewers flooded the comments with love. One admitted, “My happiness would peak if I saw Ritchie smiling back at me on a plane.” Another joked about adopting him on the spot. Thanks to his calm vibe and giant fluff factor, Ritchie turned an ordinary flight into a story passengers will be telling long after landing — and now the internet’s in on it too.
