Big Dog Turns Down High-Energy Dogs, but Completely Comes Alive With Smaller Puppies

It’s a beautiful sight to see how a big dog loves small puppies. This Instagram video shows a Leonberger named Duncan wanting to play with little pups who are calmer than big dogs. The caption reads, “His 70lb body does not match his 4.5 month old puppy brain.” In the clip, he ignores other fur babies of his own size in the playpen. He doesn’t play with them; instead, he approaches smaller pups who are outside the boundary. His behavior melts everyone’s hearts at the arena. Meanwhile, viewers lovingly call him a “baby.”

Big dog prefers calmer small puppies over dogs his own size and thrives in their playpen

In an adorable dog video on Instagram, a big dog shows how much he loves playing with small puppies. The clip begins with on-screen text explaining the context. It reads, “Once again, our gentle giant, Duncan, wanted to ditch the big kids and play with the calmer, smaller dogs.”

In a huge playpen, viewers can see two fur babies busy playing with each other. Meanwhile, Duncan the Leonberger excitedly hops towards small pups. He entirely ignores the big dogs around him and goes to the little ones who are outside the playpen. 

Then he is seen sitting near a group of pups. It appears he greets them through the grill, and in return, the puppies seem to like the attention. Furthermore, Duncan stays in the same position while the little ones are not around. However, an on-screen line states, “and after some hard negotiating.” Next, the video shows that the big dog’s wish has been granted.

Duncan enters the puppies’ playpen to have fun with the small creatures. He seems happier and more active on the other side of the fence. Meanwhile, his antics have melted viewers’ hearts. One user commented, “Duncan identifies as smol. And he is correct.”
