As every dog parent knows, nicknames can sometimes take on a life of their own, especially when your pup’s personality keeps serving up new versions. Pancake, an adorable Bulldog, is one such pup, and she proves it in a video that’s equal parts funny and heart-warming. Bulldogs are naturally stocky, smoosh-faced charmers who can flop into the most unusual poses, and Pancake has aced that game. From naps to kisses to dramatic protests, she’s managed to transform into nearly every kind of potato you can think of — and her human has the video evidence to prove it.
Owner shows Bulldog’s evolution as a potato in video
The clip has quickly become a fan favorite online, with dog lovers laughing over Pancake’s many “potato” phases. It opens with Pancake as a tiny puppy, curled up on her bed with toys scattered around. The in-video text reads, “Pancake was once a tater tot.” Fast forward a bit, and we see her a little bigger, waking up from a nap, as the words tell us that since then she’s grown into “all types of potatoes.”
First up? The baked potato — Pancake sprawled in the sunshine, soaking in the warmth. Then comes the mashed potato, with her body completely flattened to the floor. Naturally, she also masters the role of couch potato, looking like she was born for lazy lounging.
The sweetest transformation might just be sweet potato, when Pancake plants a giant kiss (and her chin) right on her human’s cheek. But she’s got sass too — the spicy potato — as she barks her feelings from the couch. Moreover, Bath time turns her into a boiled potato, dripping wet and unimpressed. And the finale shows her sneaking under the bed as the hide-a-ho potato.
The video is equal parts delicious and completely irresistible, just like a potato. With over 167K likes, the comments are filled with people who found Pancake’s “potato” moods totally adorable. One person wrote, “We’ll have 1 sweet potato please.” Meanwhile, another was impressed by Pancake’s versatility, “I gotta hand it to you, Pancake. You’re a multifaceted potato. Respect. Bulldog Power.”
