If manners made dogs, Bowie would have a seat at the royal table. This video from @bowie_the_berner_girl shows the kind of sweetness that can make even the grumpiest person go, “Okay, fine, you can come up.” It starts with Bowie, a Bernese Mountain Dog, sitting neatly beside the bed, eyes soft, wearing that patient expression dogs have when they know charm works better than barking. When her mom asks, “Can I help you?” Bowie lifts her paw ever so slightly, like she’s politely raising her hand in class. You just know she’s about to get her way, and she does.
Owner shows how gently Bernese Mountain Dog asks come up on bed
This video showing Bowie’s polite manners is completely winning the internet. It starts with the camera panning from the bed to Bowie, who is sitting next to the bed. The in-video text reads, “Every night our Berner politely asks to come up on the bed,” and honestly, it’s the cutest nightly ritual ever. Her mom coos, “Are you feeling left out?” before offering an arm for Bowie to lean into.
Her ears perk up when her mom says, “You want to come up on the bed again?” Then, her mom says okay, and Bowie jumps on the bed. She wedges herself sweetly between her mom and dad. The caption of the posts perfectly sums up the situation: “Let’s be honest, she gets whatever she wants.”
In another clip, Bowie’s at it again, resting her face on the mattress in the most adorable way possible. Mom asks her, “Are you wanting to come up on the bed? ” Then she laughs, saying, “Come on! Do it!” and Bowie hops up immediately, claiming her rightful spot next to her mother.
The post, which has over 174K likes, had viewers completely smitten. One person joked, “I’ve seen enough. I would die for that dog.” Another wrote, “That look can cure my depression in an instant.” And truly, Bowie’s gentle eyes could convince anyone to give up the entire bed — no questions asked.
