If you’ve ever lived with a dog who has strong opinions about household items, like gloves, you’ll recognize the energy in this video immediately. Dyce — known on Instagram as @dycederottweiler, where he’s lovingly described as a “fluffy Rottie” — is already watching his mom with that familiar mix of curiosity and suspicion when the clip begins.
She’s kneeling on the living room floor, slipping on a pair of gloves. But for Dyce, this is world-altering stuff. The Rottweiler inches closer, nose twitching, eyes locked in, absolutely certain that whatever these “hand socks” are, they absolutely concern him. And in seconds, he proves himself right.
Dog does what’s expected when he sees gloves
Dyce’s mom even captions the moment with, “Best day ever!!” — and the video and the dog’s energy after seeing the gloves prove it. The second those gloves appear, he plants his paws on her chest to inspect them properly.
His expression yells, “must…understand…thing.” The in-video text hilariously gives voice to his thoughts: “Wow hand socks,” as he leans in closer. Then, he goes “gib it,” when he makes his first attempt to steal one.
And of course, he succeeds. He tugs off the glove with the confidence of a dog who has years of sock-thieving experience under his belt and walks away like he’s just secured treasure. He returns for the second glove with laser focus, sniffs it dramatically and tries every possible way to pry it loose. “Nib nib,” the text says, while his mom can only laugh as he works with unwavering determination.
After he gets glove number two, he lines them up together and pauses. Almost checking out his new stash. “Dis is a dream,” the text jokes — and it really does look like it. Fans of Dyce will remember an earlier video where he stole hand towels straight off their racks, so gloves are basically an upgrade to his hobby.
The video is nearing 10K likes, with commenters fully invested in his thieving era. One person joked, “When are u wearing ten hand socks.” While another added, “Gloves and socks are never safe around Dyce.” And they’re right — the mischief is part of his charm.
