Golden Retriever Shows off ‘Tippy Tappies’ Dance and It’s Just the Cutest

Dance, dance doggy!

There are some dogs that have incredible talents beyond what we think should be possible. They paint, perform in circus-style stunts, and some can really dance!

On TikTok, user Baker Barnes (@bakerbarnes) shared a video of their adorable Golden Retriever with the cutest talent he wanted to share with the world. The video is one-of-a-kind, so take a look!

In the eight-second video, we meet Baker, who had a secret hidden talent that he's ready to show us all. "Mom says 'Show me' and my tippy tappies go!" the text on the video reads. And that's exactly what Baker did — he danced.

As the song "Butter" by BTS played, Baker twirled and did little hops that sounded like tap dancing but with four paws instead of two feet. He looks like pure joy is just oozing out of him, and it's impossible to watch and not smile.

That's what the commenters felt, too, so they left sweet messages for the happy-go-lucky puppy.

"The way his tippy-tappies matched the song in the background," one viewer wrote.

"Your dog gives me serotonin," another shared.

"How did you train this trick!?" someone else asked.

"OMG what a wonderful happy doggo," wrote another viewer.

According to the American Kennel Club, there are several science-backed reasons having a dog in our lives can make us happier and healthier. Owning a dog can help you live longer, helps people feel less alone, lower our stress levels, and encourage us to exercise daily.

"A four-footed best friend provides unconditional love and support, which is especially important during tough times," the site explains. "Though people may think we're taking care of our canine companions, it's mutual: Dogs take care of us, and science confirms it."
