There’s something about puppies that makes them think they can do absolutely anything. One moment they’re chewing your shoe, the next they’re scaling furniture like they’ve trained for a spy mission. Some even seem to believe they are not dogs at all. That was certainly the case for one bold Labradoodle puppy who, in a new Instagram video, attempted to channel his inner cat, with predictably awkward results.
Instagram video shows puppy doing a balancing act and failing at it
A 17-week-old Labradoodle puppy named Bodhi is winning hearts on Instagram after trying — and failing — to act like a cat. In a video posted to his account, @bodhiandthebeasts, the rescue pup is seen attempting to balance on a narrow window sill, just like a cat might. His tiny paws shuffle cautiously as he takes a few uncertain steps. However, his sense of balance doesn’t quite match his ambition, and within seconds, Bodhi takes a clumsy tumble.
His owner, who is filming the moment, gasps in alarm and lets out a quick scream. Fortunately, Bodhi lands safely and pops up quickly, flashing his owner a wide-eyed, innocent look, as if nothing had happened. Text on the screen humorously reads, “POV: Your dog thinks he’s a cat.” Reassuring viewers, Bodhi’s owner adds in the post’s caption, “Don’t worry, he was okay.”
Labradoodles like Bodhi are known for being affectionate, smart, and just a little mischievous. A cross between a Labrador Retriever and a Poodle, they are especially popular for their low-shedding coats and easygoing, family-friendly nature. But no matter the breed, puppies are curious by nature and full of energy. At just a few months old, dogs like Bodhi are still learning the ropes, figuring out what they can (and can’t) do. Whether they’re trying to leap like a cat or wedge themselves into tight spaces, it’s all part of the learning process. And that sometimes includes a few clumsy tumbles along the way.
