Who does not like the fragrance of fresh mint? Hazel, a chocolate Lab, certainly does. The Labrador’s owner, @thatbrowndoghazel, shared a short video that captures Hazel standing silently beside a planter of bright green mint leaves, taking in the scent with slow, deliberate breaths. Her nose moves up and down as she inhales, completely focused on the aroma in front of her. As such, the caption reads, “Hazel enjoying the smell of some fresh mint.”
Labrador can’t get enough of fresh mint leaves in an adorable video
The video is sweet and almost meditative. In the video, the Labrador wins hearts with a simple pleasure: the smell of fresh mint leaves. Hazel stands still with her soft eyes, looking relentlessly at the leaves as she savors every whiff. Her peaceful moment in the garden has inspired a wave of affectionate comments from dog lovers who relate to her unexpectedly refined taste.
One commenter simply remarked on “her powerful sniffer.” Others praised Hazel’s calm joy, with one person saying, “Aawww !! That Pupper enjoys that good minty smell. You’re precious Hazel.” Another added, “She’s absolutely beautiful.”
Several viewers shared stories about their own dogs and their gardening habits. One wrote, “My senior lab loves examining the garden! Smelling anything that’s been moved or has otherwise changed. Checking out flowers, verifying fertilizer applications and overseeing watering, inspecting the dirt via taste test!” Another joked, “Mint chocolate chip,” possibly a nod to Hazel’s chocolate‑brown coat.
Some viewers rejoiced in the wholesome moment. One commenter wrote, “This video brings so much love and joy,” while another said, “You have no idea how happy this video made me.”
The Labrador’s calm appreciation for something as simple as fresh mint in the video clearly touched many online. It was a reminder of how pure and joyful dogs can be, and for Hazel, her love for mint seems incomparable.
