Have you ever watched your dog do something and thought, “Wait… is that literally how I would do it?” Dogs have a way of acting so human it’s impossible not to laugh, or sometimes even feel a little judged. Whether it’s the way they sit, watch TV, or even pause before moving, their little quirks are endlessly entertaining. A new video of a dog walking in reverse while checking behind him is exactly that kind of moment — funny, clever, and impossible not to relate to.
Dog walks in reverse while seated in cute Instagram video
Izuna, a playful German Shepherd–Labrador mix, has gone viral for a clip that captures his mischievous yet cautious personality. Shared by his owner on @izunathesassyshep, the video shows Izuna sitting and walking in reverse while wagging his tail enthusiastically. At regular intervals, he pauses to look behind him, making sure his path is clear before continuing his backward shuffle. Adding to the cuteness, he occasionally lets out playful growls, making it clear he’s enjoying the attention.
The short clip quickly drew a wave of reactions from viewers who couldn’t get enough of Izuna’s antics. One fan commented, “Well, he knows how to reverse.” Another playful viewer joked, “When is pancake o’clock again?” referencing a recurring theme among dog content where treats are highly anticipated. Others speculated on his intentions, with one person writing, “He’s trying to get you to do something, so start listening.” Another joked about his camera awareness: “Don’t record me so close that I don’t look good.”
The German Shepherd-Labrador mix, sometimes called a Sheprador, combines the best traits of two highly popular breeds. German Shepherds are celebrated for their intelligence, loyalty, and versatility. They are often used in police work, rescue missions, and as service dogs due to their strong work ethic. Labradors, on the other hand, are known for their friendly, outgoing nature, love of play, and strong bonds with their families. When these traits are combined in a Sheprador, the result is a dog who is both highly trainable and affectionate.
