The holiday season has a way of revealing just how well our decorations can stand up to curious pets. Between sparkling lights, dangling ornaments, and low-hanging branches, Christmas trees often become an irresistible attraction for dogs. One recent video shows a Great Dane calmly interacting with Christmas tree decorations in a way viewers found both gentle and amusing.
A Great Dane owner who posts under the handle @euro_dane_bros recently shared a video highlighting their dog’s careful and curious nature. Filmed in the living room, the clip shows the large dog slowly approaching the family’s Christmas tree and examining the hanging ornaments one by one. Rather than pawing at them or knocking them loose, the Great Dane gently taps each ornament with his nose.
Great Dane boops Christmas tree ornaments with his nose in cute video
Text overlaid on the video reads, “My Great Dane thinks it’s fun to boop the ornaments with his nose.” According to the caption, the owner finds the behavior amusing — and a relief — especially since the dog doesn’t try to pull the ornaments off the tree or eat them. Instead, he seems content simply to watch them sway and listen to the sound they make.
The video quickly drew comments from fellow dog owners who related to the experience. One viewer wrote that the ornaments “do look like fun,” while another joked that nothing in their home is safe from being booped by their own dog. Others focused on the Great Dane’s oversized snout, noting how impressive it was to see such a big dog be so careful around fragile decorations.
Not everyone had the same luck, though. One commenter shared that their Dane had eaten ornaments the year before, leading them to skip decorating the tree entirely this season.
If you’re decorating a Christmas tree with a dog in your home, a few precautions can make the season safer and less stressful. Choose shatterproof ornaments instead of glass, and place fragile items higher up where curious noses can’t reach them. Skip decorations that can be chewed or swallowed, such as tinsel, ribbon, or ornament hooks. Most importantly, always supervise your dog around the tree, especially during the first few days.
