Most people dream of having a loyal guard dog — but some pups are just too full of love to take that job seriously. That’s the hilarious reality for the owner of Jack Jack (or JJ for short), a delightful Havanese puppy, who recently celebrated his third birthday. This sweet pup, featured on the Instagram handle @jjthehavanese, is so friendly that any potential burglar would be met with overwhelming joy instead of barks. His owner was perfectly, and hilariously, sarcastic in the video’s caption: “best guard pup out there.”
Havanese puppy being the ‘best guard pup’ in cute video
This little “guard dog” moment has every viewer in stitches, with JJ’s video pulling in over 18,000 likes and a flood of laughing emojis. It begins by setting up the dramatic scenario: “My dog if anyone were to break in.”
Ask any Havanese parent, and they’ll laugh — guarding isn’t really their thing. They are far more interested in making friends than patrolling the perimeter. JJ couldn’t fit that description more if he tried. If and when the hypothetical ‘burglar’ walks in, he would be thrilled — like, tail-wagging, full-body excitement thrilled. Just as he is in the video.
The video is cut to a soundtrack called “House Tour,” and the sarcasm is spot-on. JJ’s tail is going a mile a minute, and his face says it all — pure joy at meeting someone new. He even performs a little happy dance, bobbing his head down and then sitting flat on the floor, all while his tail continues to wag. One viewer noted, “he’s like WELCOME IN.”
The friendly pup then adds a happy paw shuffle to his greeting ritual. Let’s be honest — JJ’s not guarding the valuables, but he’d charm any intruder into staying for belly rubs. As one fan joked, “Scare them with adorableness!” Another viewer hilariously pointed out the obvious: “The loot is the dog.” JJ’s non-stop welcome is a sweet reminder that some dogs simply believe everyone who enters the house is a new best friend.
