There’s something undeniably sweet about watching a dog experience a “first”, especially when that first involves wearing shoes. A new viral video captures Cali, a gentle Pit Bull, trying on her winter booties for the very first time. Her reaction is equal parts confused, dramatic, and completely adorable. The beloved Pit Bull, known online as @calypso.the.pit, has built a warm, loyal community of 25.8K followers across her 304 posts. Her bio sums up her personality: “Rescue turned royalty | CEO of drama & naps.” In her latest video, she proves that the title fits her flawlessly.
Pit Bull reacts to wearing shoes for the first time in cute video
The video opens with Cali standing in the entryway, already buckled into a full set of tiny purple-and-blue dog shoes. As soon as she lifts her first paw, it’s obvious she has no idea what to make of the strange new sensation. She attempts a step, but each movement is wildly exaggerated — her legs lift too high, her paws land too softly, as if she’s trying to walk on the moon. Her owner gently encourages her from behind the camera. Cali then eases herself into a seat by the door, clearly hoping the shoes will somehow slip off if she stays perfectly still. It’s the moment that instantly won viewers over. One watcher commented, “I’m so sorry, Caly, but I cackled and snorted when you sat by the door!”
When her owner encourages her again, Cali takes a few brave steps, each one slightly steadier than the last. Despite her initial concerns, she manages to wobble across the room, her little shoes tapping lightly against the floor. The comments poured in with love and laughter: “Cali is such a good baby,” one user wrote. Another added, “Aww, they keep your tootsies warm in the winter, cutie.” Someone else summed it up perfectly: “Oh, sweet girl. You are absolutely precious.” One user asked, “Since her tail wags…does that mean she likes it?”
