A fluffy Chow Chow named Brutus is winning hearts online for doing… well, almost nothing, and somehow doing it perfectly. In a short Instagram video, the dog’s owner breaks down Brutus’ “skills” into three simple categories. The list appears on screen in a playful tone: “My dog is really good at 3 things.” The video comes from the Instagram account @brutusthechowchow, where Brutus’ daily life is shared through light, relatable moments like this one. The page features 87 posts, has 953 followers, and follows 72 accounts. The bio keeps things simple and on point: “2 years old. Loves naps and the air conditioner,” a description that perfectly matches what viewers see on screen, especially when it comes to his love for naps.
Chow Chow is really good at 3 absolutely adorable things
What follows is less a demonstration of talent and more a celebration of personality. The first clip shows Brutus sitting calmly, his thick, teddy bear-like coat framing his face. Here is the first skill: “Being cute.” In the second part of the video, Brutus is lying on the floor, fast asleep and totally relaxed. The caption for this part says “Sleeping.” Then comes the final skill: “being cute while sleeping.” In this clip, Brutus naps with his face gently pressed against the edge of a surface, his fluffy cheeks slightly squished.
Brutus does not jump, fetch, or perform tricks. He simply sits and sleeps. And somehow, that’s enough to keep people watching. The comment section quickly filled with amused reactions, with many agreeing that Brutus has mastered the art of doing very little. One user wrote, “And he makes it all look so easy.” Another kept it simple: “Adorable.” Some added their own observations. “Absolutely. I would add eating lots to that!!! But the love never stops!” one viewer commented. Another chimed in with a familiar trait: “And snoring.”
