Every household has that one person who gets a completely different reaction from the family pup. The tail wags harder, the jumps get higher, and the excitement level spikes instantly. A video circulating online captures one dog whose enthusiasm reaches its maximum the moment her favorite uncle appears.
Dog can’t stop barking when ‘fun uncle’ comes home in video
A Golden Retriever named Lucie has made it clear that one particular relative holds a special place in her heart. In a video shared on @luciewoos, Lucie is seen completely overwhelmed with excitement when her “fun uncle” arrives at the house.
The clip begins with Lucie stomping on the couch, alert and buzzing with energy. As soon as she notices her uncle outside, she starts barking loudly. Her owner, who is filming, gently asks her who is at the door, but Lucie’s response is anything but calm. Instead of settling down, her barks grow louder and more frequent, almost as if she is trying to announce his arrival to the entire household.
Unable to stay still, Lucie darts towards the door, pacing back and forth as she waits. The anticipation only builds until the door finally opens. The moment she meets her uncle, Lucie brushes herself against him in pure affection. Her tail wags nonstop as she showers him with attention. Her uncle is just as happy to see her, immediately returning the enthusiasm with plenty of pets and affectionate rubs.
In the caption accompanying the video, Lucie’s paw parent addresses a common question viewers seem to ask. “We’re often asked if Lucie barks,” she writes, adding that the answer is a definite yes, especially when Lucie is excited. The video makes that point abundantly clear, showing that barking is simply Lucie’s way of expressing joy.
One user joked that Lucie delivered “a powerful bork,” while another pointed out her playful bow at the door, noting that she clearly knows her “funcle” means fun and games. Viewers were entertained by the unique sound of her barking. One commenter said it took a moment to realize Lucie was barking and not “wooing,” praising her for seemingly speaking two canine “languages.” Another summed up the mood simply by saying it was the happiest they had ever seen her.
