Some videos just stop you in the middle of scrolling, and this one is a joy from the second it begins. As he lounges on a bed, a chunky little American Bully puppy with floppy paws decides to play tag with his mom. Through the screen, you can almost feel how excited he is as he taps her hand with his paw and waits for her reaction.
This starts a silly and sweet back-and-forth that could only happen between a dog and their owner. This little guy, with his wide grin and wagging tail, shows exactly why puppyhood feels like a whirlwind of playtime, naptime, and playtime again.
Instagram video shows puppy playing tag with owner enthusiastically
When an Instagram Reel racks up more than 751K likes, you know it’s hitting people right in the heart. The video kicks off with the puppy giving his mom’s hand a light tap, like he’s tagging her “it.” She gently taps him back.
Just like that, they’re trading taps in a rhythm that seems uniquely theirs. “Have you ever played tag with a puppy?” the video’s caption reads, and by the looks of it, this furbaby has mastered the game.
What makes it even more adorable is his mix of energy and tenderness. XL American Bullies are known for being big softies despite their stocky frames. One can definitely see that gentle nature when he rests his chin on his mom’s hand, almost calling for a truce. However, a sly wag of his tail indicates that the game is not quite over yet.
The comments section was filled with love for this cute game of tag. One viewer typed, “Cuteness overload,” while another admitted, “Soooooo I’m just over here watching this on repeat.”
A commenter joked, “Mine comes at me like he’s in the WWE,” and plenty begged the pet parent to “let him win, please.” Between the laughs and heart emojis, it’s clear this pup has charmed everyone watching.
