Little Howie does not need a talent show to stand out. He turns everyday moments into tiny comedy bits. One second, he is “digging at nothing” on the hardwood. The next, he is upside down, grinning through a deep nap. This special puppy reel frames him like a list of lovable odd habits. The Pup’s special video feels like a quick tour of puppy logic. It is messy, loud, and oddly charming in every clip.
Puppy loves to bark every time he walks down the stairs
The Instagram account howietheberner posted the reel one day ago with the caption, “My mum says I’m special ✨?.” The on-screen title reads, “Things that make little Howie special.” It uses Red Hot Chili Peppers’ “Can’t Stop” as the audio. The post has 2.5K likes and 21 comments so far. The account bio lists Minneapolis, Minnesota.
Howie is a Bernese Mountain Dog puppy with a fluffy tri-color coat and oversized paws. Berners often bond hard and follow their people closely. Many puppies also explore the world with their mouths. That combo can look like sweater tugging and happy barking.
The first “special” moment is “One step, one bark” as Howie bounces down carpeted stairs. Next, he gets “very vocal about sweaters,” and the caption warns, “no sweater is safe.” Another clip shows him “disguises as a baby shark under the bed,” staring out like a tiny ambush.
The reel then cuts to cuddle time, where he “has to cuddle in this position” on his back. He also “only deep sleeps on his back,” legs loose and face relaxed. Finally, he circles back to the hardwood, where he “digs at nothing,” as if he found invisible treasure. The video packs all of it into a fast, funny montage.
Fans replied fast with praise for the pup’s quirks. One wrote, “1 bark per step got me! Love this pup.” Another added, “Hahaha the barking down the steps is great ?.” A third chimed in, “Belly Rubs! ? ❤️.” Someone else said, “Howie you’re adorable sleeping on your back precious boy❤️❤️❤️????.” Another joked, “That is the cutest derpyiest potato ?”.
