It’s no secret that dogs love to find the most comfortable — and sometimes ridiculous — positions to relax. For pet parents, these small, everyday quirks are impossible to ignore and even harder not to capture on camera. One Golden Retriever has recently shown in a video that a simple sploot can be a performance worthy of an audience.
Golden Retriever’s ‘wiggly sploots’ will steal your heart in cute video
Every dog has their quirks, and Bear, a Golden Retriever belonging to Kaitlin Kime, has a particularly endearing one. His mom recently shared a video showcasing Bear’s habit of “splooting” every time he lies down. Splooting is when a dog stretches out flat on their belly with their back legs extended behind them. The video opens with onscreen text saying, “Bear, you don’t need to sploot every time you lay down.”
Adding a playful touch, the clip features Selena Gomez’s “Hands to Myself” as a soundtrack. The lyrics, “Can’t keep my hands to myself… I mean I could but why would I want to,” playfully mirror Bear’s irresistible behavior.
As the music drops, Bear stretches out into his signature sploot in a series of short clips with his belly pressed to the floor and tail wagging. The combination of his playful energy and perfectly timed music makes the video impossible to view just once.
It’s clear that Kaitlin loves capturing these moments, calling them her favorite “wiggle sploots.” Unsurprisingly, many users were charmed by Bear’s adorable habit. One person joked, “It’s my floor and I’ll sploot if I want to,” while another shared, “Makes me want to do a big stretch too.”
Others reminisced about their own dogs, with one viewer saying, “When I first got my Berner that used to scare the hell out of me, but hey, it’s a comfy position.” Another enthusiast rated Bear’s sploot a perfect score: “We say his sploot is definitely 10/10.”
