Coming home to a pet is always the best part of a pet parent’s day, but one enthusiastic pup has a very specific, hilarious welcoming routine. Nissa Maria shared a heartwarming video on her Instagram page @nissa_maria that perfectly captures this exact energy. Her hyperactive German Shorthaired Pointer, Cooper, completely loses his mind with excitement whenever the front door opens. The happy dog breaks into full-body wiggles while proudly presenting a giant fluffy pillow to his human.
Dog can’t stop happy wiggles while carrying a pillow to greet owner
The video starts right as the key turns in the lock and Mom opens her front door. Even through the tiny crack, you can see Cooper is already waiting (im)patiently inside the entryway. As the door swings wide open, he breaks into a welcome dance right in the hallway. The cute dog cannot control his happy wiggles while tightly holding a massive bed pillow in his mouth.
Mom instantly recognizes the prize, excitedly asking if he stole that specific item straight from her own bedroom. Cooper proudly parades around the hallway, absolutely thrilled that his petty theft is getting so much attention. His mom switches into a sweet baby voice, thanking him repeatedly for the adorable presentation.
He briefly trots out of the frame before she begs him to come back and show her the trophy again. Pointers naturally love to retrieve and hold objects, so presenting household items is basically their full-time job. He happily obliges, shaking his tail so hard that his entire backside vibrates. Mom cannot stop laughing, repeating how much she loves the goofy performance.
The spectacular routine quickly racked up a whopping 80k likes from obsessed animal lovers online. Commenters cannot get over his enthusiasm. One viewer labeled him the happiest of wiggle butts. Another person admitted their jaw dropped from the pure cuteness. And someone else loved his crunchy ear wiggle dance.
There is truly nothing better than an animal that celebrates your return like you have been gone for a decade, and Cooper clearly puts in a lot of thought into choosing the greeting prop.
