There’s nothing quite like trying to focus on your breathing while a 100-pound Bernese Mountain Dog is determined to sit on your chest. That’s what Minnesota dog mom Taylor Carlson learned recently in a TikTok video, when her pups, Koko and Robbi, decided yoga wasn’t exercise, but cuddle hour.
Bernese Mountain Dog turns owner’s yoga session into cuddle time in heartwarming video
Koko and Robbi, two Bernese Mountain Dog sisters, live in Minnesota with their owner, Taylor Carlson. Their playful and affectionate personalities have already made them popular on social media. They’ve gained more than 66K followers on TikTok and over 108K on Instagram under the handle @kokoandrobbi.
On August 22, Carlson shared a TikTok that captured what was supposed to be a yoga session, until one of her dogs decided otherwise. With her hands and feet planted on the mat, Carlson held a downward-facing pose. Suddenly, one of the sisters slid underneath her for a surprise cuddle. Carlson can be seen chuckling as she struggles to stay balanced while her fluffy companion soaks up affection.
In another moment, she is lying flat on the mat when one of the dogs climbs on top of her, showering her with kisses. Not to be left out, the second Bernese joins in, and suddenly Carlson is sandwiched between two giant cuddle machines. Toward the end, the dog practically sits on her, placing her full weight on her mom. Carlson can’t help but laugh through the lovable chaos.
One viewer quipped, “She’s making sure you don’t fall,” treating the Berner like an overzealous personal trainer. Another joked, “They love ya to death, literally,” as Carlson was completely buried under 200 pounds of fluffy devotion. Someone else exclaimed, “When I saw two of them I screamed they are multiplying.” Perhaps the most relatable response came from the fan who sighed, “I need this kind of support in my life.”
