Wilbur, a charismatic French Bulldog, has developed a reputation for being more of a people-dog than a dog-dog. His owner took him to a local dog park, hoping he would romp around with the other pups. However, Wilbur had a different plan entirely. As seen in a video posted online, the Frenchie bypasses every dog he encounters and instead makes a beeline for their humans, offering his full attention in exchange for pats and praise.
Frenchie only wants pats from strangers at dog park in video
The clip shows Wilbur weaving confidently through clusters of playing dogs, only to trot straight past them and greet unsuspecting dog owners like they’re old friends. The text on the video reads, “POV: You take your dog to the dog park but he only wants pats from strangers,” capturing the humorous reality of Wilbur’s priorities.
According to his owner, this isn’t a one-time incident. Wilbur treats every visit as though he’s walking into a gathering of loyal fans waiting to admire him.
The funniest part, however, is how the other dogs react. They perk up when Wilbur approaches, expecting a friendly sniff or a chance to play, only for him to dart around them and head directly toward their humans. It leaves the pups briefly confused and the humans laughing as they suddenly find themselves the center of Wilbur’s attention.
The comments section quickly filled with viewers who recognized the behavior all too well. One person joked, “She doesn’t understand why there are dogs at her human park.” Another wrote, “Looks like Wilby loves meetin’ new pals especially the two-legged kind,” noting his clear preference for humans.
Someone else teased, “He’s checking out new possible owners,” while another viewer added, “Every Frenchie will do this,” suggesting the breed might simply be wired for human interaction.
