An adorable Instagram video from @nikki_fitnik features a dog and a baby named Jax playing with bubbles, and they have the best time. Together, they chase the bubbles and celebrate every single pop like it is the best thing that has ever happened, and in that moment, maybe it is. Jax stands with the Golden Retriever, watching the bubbles intently.
Baby and dog adorably play with bubbles together
As soon as the bubbles appear, the baby starts excitedly trying to say “bubbles” before the dog steals the show by jumping and snapping at bubbles mid-air and “eating” them in that harmless and goofy way that dogs do. Every time the dog makes a move, Jax breaks into loud, contagious laughter, the kind that makes you laugh through the screen.
The owner keeps the game going by blowing another round. Jax reaches up with both hands, grabbing at the air, repeating “bubble,” and giggling when the dog beats him to the next one — the Golden Retriever keeps popping bubbles one after another while Jax reacts like the dog just told the funniest joke on earth.
In the comments, people admitted that the video’s energy was contagious and that they could not stop playing it. One viewer wrote, “My daughter literally ran from another room screaming baby! And watched this video like a dozen times ?” Meanwhile, another commenter gushed, “Cuteness overload!?”
The reason playing with bubbles works so well for the dog and the baby is that babies love movement that captures their attention and gives them something easy to follow with their eyes and hands. At the same time, dogs, too, tend to chase bubbles for the same reason. The bubbles move fast, bounce around, look tempting, and they get a reaction from everyone in the room. So a dog and a baby together would love every moment of playing with them, like in this video.
