Humans spend years chasing the secrets to a happy, balanced life, while dogs somehow seem to have it all figured out. They eat when hungry, nap when tired, and unapologetically demand the attention they deserve. Coconut, a pint-sized Chihuahua, recently made this truth more obvious than ever in a video where she shares some life advice, which is playful, practical, and full of canine confidence.
Chihuahua gives fans a TED talk filled with life advice in video
Through a series of onscreen captions, Coconut reveals her inner mantras, each with footage of her acting out the tips in her daily life. The life advice video opens with the Chihuahua basking in the sun, accompanied by the text, “worship the sun,” a nod to the simple joys of soaking in nature.
Next, Coconut encourages her followers to “take a seat at the table.” She reminds them to assert themselves and claim their space. The pup also emphasizes the importance of confidence in another clip. According to her, it should always be greater than your size, something most Chihuahua owners can readily attest to.
The advice continues with Coconut demonstrating how to handle travel. Rather than asking to go along, she simply climbs into her owner’s suitcase, showing that when it comes to trips, she expects to be included. Other life lessons include “pick your person,” captured while Coconut enjoys belly rubs from her favorite human, and “eye your prize,” as she intensely focuses on her owner’s food bowl.
Coconut doesn’t shy away from standing up for herself either. During a car ride, she clings firmly to her owner with the caption, “stand your ground.” And she reminds everyone of the importance of comfort, showing herself cradled in her mom’s arms with the advice to “stay comfy, always.” The post’s caption invites viewers to consider it “a TED talk… but fluffier.”
Fans took to the comments section to share their amusement and admiration. One user wrote, “Wise beyond your size, Coconut.” Another added, “Better than all life coaches.” Some viewers related their own experiences, saying, “My two definitely adhere to these policies.” Others admitted they had underestimated the impact of a Chihuahua: “Never wanted one, now I can’t imagine my life without one!”
