There’s always that one family member who cares less about what’s inside the box and more about the thrill of tearing it open. In this holiday video from @thebernerbunch, that role belongs entirely to Weller. Set in front of a glowing Christmas tree, this very determined dog is already mid-mission when the clip begins, surrounded by wrapping paper and good intentions. His humans know him well enough by now — some of these presents are real, and some are just decoys wrapped purely for his enjoyment. And honestly? This Bernese Mountain Dog could not be happier.

The entire clip is in slow motion, which somehow makes everything ten times better. Weller is carefully working through red-and-white wrapping paper, his face locked in total concentration. The on-screen text introduces him plainly: “This is Weller. Weller LOVES to unwrap presents.” A strip of paper sticks to his tongue, and with a quick flick of his head, he sends it flying like a party trick. The slow-mo catches every dramatic movement, from his focused eyes to the way his jowls bounce as he works.
Next, he goes after a bow, tugging at it like it personally offended him. Then comes a montage of cardboard boxes — big, small, awkwardly shaped — all falling victim to his method. He is actually savoring ripping into them. Another package with reindeer-print paper gets shredded. Then one with red-and-white stripes.
No wrapping paper is safe. Even the stuffing inside the boxes gets the full treatment, shaken, pulled apart, and reduced to what looks like festive confetti spread across the floor. The classical Blue Danube Waltz playing over it all feels absurdly perfect, turning Weller’s chaos into something almost elegant.
With over 5,200 likes, viewers are delighted. Commenters point out his “gusto,” the iconic tongue flick, and how unwrapping really is the best part of Christmas. Judging by Weller’s performance, it might be the only present that truly matters.
