Jennifer Garner has participated in the viral “paws in” or “hands in” challenge, and her dog Birdie nailed it on her first try. While the viral challenge started on TikTok, it has made its way to Instagram. Also, more and more dog owners are trying it out with their furry companions. The Golden Retriever perfectly executed the “all hands on deck” challenge, all while lying down comfortably.
Jennifer Garner’s dog ‘Birdie’ nails viral ‘paws in’ TikTok challenge on her first try
If you don’t know about the “paws in” challenge, it is when owners sit beside their pets and stack their hands on top of each other. The pet parents should then wait and see if their furry friends get it and stack their paws on top. It is important to note that the “hands in” challenge needs two people or more to have the desired effect.
Jennifer Garner’s dog surely did because she flawlessly stacked her paw on top of her human’s hand in the Instagram post. The on-screen text read, “Trying the ‘hands in’ challenge with Birdie.” The actor paired up with someone off-camera to try out the ‘paws in’ challenge. Birdie could be seen lying beside Garner, placing her paw on their hands multiple times throughout the video.
Jennifer Garner was delighted that her dog got it on her first try. This is impressive as pets are often confused in the viral “paws in” challenge videos. While she was proud of her Golden Retriever’s quick thinking, the actor admitted in the caption of the Instagram reel that she didn’t have as impressive a result with her puppy.
Birdie’s quick reaction shouldn’t come as a surprise, as she is a certified therapy dog, per People. The Golden Retriever frequently visits children’s hospitals to comfort patients. Jennifer Garner’s therapy dog recently turned nine years old, which she celebrated in an adorable Instagram post.
