Jupiter looked less like a practice patient and more like the nursery’s main character. In an Instagram video, his owner practices swaddling before her baby arrives, using the deaf house hippo as help. The clip, posted by @jupiterthebulldog, shows her in an upcoming infant’s room with Jupiter, a large white-and-brown pup. He lies calmly on a blanket and seems happy to take part. The nursery setting makes the practice even funnier and sweeter.
Bulldog helps mom with swaddling training before welcoming baby
The video begins with Jupiter, the deaf Bulldog, stretched out on an Arkansas blanket while his owner prepares the lesson. The on-screen text says she felt the need to practice swaddling before her baby arrived. So she used her 80-pound helper, who clearly had no plans to complain.
The reel then turns into a full training session. His owner spreads the blanket like a diamond and tries to move him into position. In the transcript, she tells him, “Your arm is tucked in now.” Then, she asks if he feels okay. Jupiter stays relaxed, even when the blanket needs extra room.
She keeps laughing through the process because Jupiter is not exactly newborn-sized. The white-and-brown pup rolls, stretches, and lets her keep adjusting the blanket. At one point, she tucks the fabric between his legs because he is “a little big.” Somehow, he still looks completely at ease.
The funniest part comes when she finally finishes the wrap. She tells him, “I’ve swaddled you,” before calling him “a beautiful baby boy.” The account’s caption says he “loved every minute of it too.” That matches his calm face in the reel. Another shot shows her holding him like a baby near the crib.
Viewers were quick to treat Jupiter as the real baby of the house. One wrote, “What do you mean before the baby arrives? He’s right there in front of you.” Another said, “This is funny and adorable.” Others added, “He’s just a baby,” “the way he just let you do whatever,” and “My chipotle burrito.”
