Dusty, an English Bulldog from London seems to hold back all his energy until the perfect moment — which is usually when his dad walks through the door. In the clip his mom posted on Instagram, we see that Dusty’s greeting isn’t just routine — it’s a full-on mini celebration every single day.
One that warrants some dancing. Bulldogs usually have that adorably grumpy look and move at their own steady pace, which makes Dusty’s burst of energy feel even more surprising and funny. His new “excitement dance” shows off his personality perfectly — even a laid-back, stocky Bulldog can let loose when the moment hits.
Bulldog’s excitement knows no bounds when greeting dad at home in video
The video has already racked up nearly 3k likes. Fans just can’t get enough of Dusty’s dance moves. It opens with him sensing that dad is back. He runs from the yard, goes past mom, and positions himself near the hallway partition. As expected, his tail is wagging like an antenna. His eyes are glued to the door.
When dad finally enters, Dusty bursts into what his human calls a “new little excitement dance.” He shimmy-shakes, wags his bum, and circles the coffee table in pure joy. English Bulldogs aren’t usually known for energetic displays. Dusty shatters that stereotype completely.
One viewer laughed at “the accelerating lap around the table!” Another wrote, “Aww, the sweet boy is so happy to see his daddy.” His human’s caption sums it up: “This is so funny, he has a new little excitement dance when his daddy comes home from work. I just love it.”
The best part comes when Dusty leaps through dad’s legs. Then flops down for pets and ear scratches. His excitement says more than words ever could. One fan even noted that there’s something magical about having a dog greet you with that much joy. It’s a reminder of why dog ownership is so rewarding.
