Chores are usually the worst part of any day, but for a dog named Buck, they are the absolute highlight. Living way up north among horses and donkeys, this pup makes the mundane look magical. His human shares their busy farm life on @fortheloveofsmiley. She just posted a clip that makes us all look bad. Buck, the German Shepherd, doesn’t just “take out” the trash; he does it with the smiliest, happiest trot. It’s refreshing to see someone, well, some dog, find that much joy in a simple job.
Video captures dog diligently taking the trash out in adorable video
This viral video starts with Buck’s mom carrying a bag to the door. Her helper is already standing duty outside. As soon as the door opens, Buck steps forward politely, professionally. Luke, his equally curious canine sibling, hovers nearby, supervising the exchange. Buck takes the bag gently in his mouth and shoves past Luke. He is on a mission that must be completed. His owner joked, “I wish the rest of my family would do their chores with this much delight.”
As his human encourages him with a cheerful “Go, go, go,” Buck breaks into the most joyful trot. His ears are pinned back, and his tail is lifted. Every single step he takes through the snow is just so full of pride. You can tell he truly believes he’s doing the world’s most important job. The on-screen text asks who else takes out the trash with this much pride and joy, and honestly, the answer might be no one.
This specific German Shepherd’s drive to have a job is on full display here. These dogs are famously bright and eager to please. They often figure out how to be helpful without any formal training.
Luke follows along as Buck delivers the bag to the waiting truck, slowing down only when he reaches the end. The moment the trash is taken from his mouth, Buck is praised with a well-earned “Good boy,” and you can see it land. The pure satisfaction on his face has resonated with over 161,000 people. One fan even noted that his “ears and prance” almost moved them to tears.
