The sun’s out, the grass is green, and it’s the perfect day for an outing. Unless you’re a dog named Dunkin, in which case, it’s only perfect after you’ve got your Hawaiian shirt on. While most dogs leap at the chance to head out the door, Dunkin brings a more refined approach to his outdoor adventures. The dog’s latest outing video proves he’s not about to be seen without looking like he just stepped off a cruise ship.
Dog needs his summer Hawaiian outfit before outing with owner
Dunkin, an opinionated dog with a clear sense of style, has the internet laughing with a video of his pre-outing routine. The clip captures Dunkin’s unwavering commitment to looking his best before leaving the house. As the clip begins, his owner tries to coax him outside, tugging gently on his leash. However, Dunkin refuses to budge, planting himself firmly by the front door.
A few moments later, Dunkin turns back into the house and grabs his Hawaiian shirt and tiny sunhat off the couch. It’s a clear message: he’s not going anywhere without his outfit. The next cut shows Dunkin fully dressed in his watermelon-patterned Hawaiian shirt and sunhat, now bouncing with energy and ready to go. As the front door opens, Dunkin dashes outside, soaking up the sun and even throwing in a spontaneous cartwheel across the grass.
Many viewers related to Dunkin’s feeling of needing the perfect outfit to set the mood for a day out. “The fact that he REFUSED to leave the house without his fit,” one person wrote. Another chimed in, “I’m sure it feels nice to roll around in that shirt,” referencing Dunkin’s joyful grass cartwheel. One of the funniest reactions read, “Don’t ask me why, but I just KNOW Dunkin makes a piña colada like no one else.”
If your dog is anything like Dunkin, a bit of flair can be part of the summer fun. However, comfort and safety should always come first. Opt for lightweight, breathable fabrics that allow airflow and help prevent overheating. Make sure accessories like hats or shirts don’t interfere with your dog’s vision, hearing, or movement. Most importantly, monitor your pet closely for signs of discomfort or heat stress — such as excessive panting, drooling, or lethargy — and remove any clothing immediately if these appear.
