Coming home after a long day can be made instantly better by a pup that acts like you’ve been gone for years, even if it was only 30 minutes. Their enthusiasm is unmatched. One Instagram-famous dog has taken that greeting energy to a new level, complete with gifts and a tail that could double as a helicopter’s propeller.
Dog gets helicopter tail and loses her ears when owner comes home in adorable video
Instagram user @nubethesamoyed shared a video that perfectly captures what it’s like to be greeted by a very enthusiastic Samoyed. The video starts with the text, “Things my dog does when I come home,” and it’s nothing short of heartwarming. As the door opens, Nube eagerly trots over to greet her human with a sunflower plush toy in her mouth. According to the video, bringing a “gift” is the first step in Nube’s welcome routine.
What follows is a joyful flurry of tail wags that look more like a spinning helicopter blade than a regular tail movement. Her excitement is so intense that her ears flatten back entirely—a reaction lovingly described onscreen as “loses her ears.” Nube then does a full-body happy shake and finishes it all off with a long, dramatic stretch, as if to say, “That was a lot of work, but worth it.” Her owner pets her gently, clearly enjoying the greeting as much as the dog does. In the caption, she writes, “This is one of the sweetest things she does and I am always looking forward to coming home to see what gift she’s picked for us.”
The video quickly made an impression online. Many viewers took to the comments to share their love. One person wrote, “I love when her ears disappear,” while another simply said, “The best greeting.” Someone added, “Thanks for sharing her. It’s a dopamine rush to watch her,” capturing how uplifting the clip was for them. One user even referenced The Beatles with “Here comes the sun,” nodding to Nube’s bright presence.
