Cowboy’s teeth are impossible to miss, and it’s definitely not what most people picture when they think Doberman. In his latest Instagram video, Cowboy turns the idea of a dog’s “bared teeth” on its head, swapping any hint of menace for goofy charm. Rather than looking scary, Cowboy just flashes these goofy, toothy grins, like he’s in on a joke no one else knows. It shows what people often forget about this breed — behind the sleek, tough look is a total goofball who loves making people laugh. And Cowboy? He’s clearly mastered that role.
Doberman shows his teeth often but not for ‘aggression’
The clip starts with Cowboy peeking out from behind a curtain, his head tilting from side to side. The on-screen text declares, “Dogs show their teeth as a sign of aggression.” His confused little look makes it obvious he doesn’t quite agree with that statement. What follows is a montage that proves the point: Cowboy showing his pearly whites in every setting imaginable, from the bedroom to the living room.
Each “smile” is sillier than the last. Sometimes he looks proud of himself, and other times it’s like he’s waiting for someone to laugh. Instead of coming across as threatening, Cowboy’s toothy displays are harmless, funny, and endlessly endearing. Fans in the comments couldn’t get enough of his antics, joking that his “aggressively cute teefies are a menace to society.”
The clip is funny because it totally messes with what people usually expect from a Doberman. People often think that this breed is tough, but Cowboy shows how fun and expressive they can be when they are loved and appreciated.
The head tilts, the wide grins, and those big, innocent eyes all paint a picture of a dog who’s more comedian than guard dog. And judging by the 16.5K likes on the video, his audience agrees — these “highly aggressive teefs” are nothing but utter and complete joy.
