Some dogs run down the stairs. Some take it slow, step by step. But this chocolate Labrador puppy? He’s decided that the best way to get downstairs for breakfast is to turn himself into a toboggan and slide belly-first all the way down.
Yes, you read that right. Instead of using his legs like a normal pup, this little genius launches himself forward, flattens out, and lets gravity take over—sliding down in the most ridiculous, wiggly, tail-wagging fashion imaginable. It’s a mix between a penguin’s belly glide and a sled ride, and it’s absolutely hysterical.
The first time he did it, his humans were understandably stunned. One moment, he was standing at the top of the stairs, staring down like he had an important decision to make. Then, without warning, he flopped onto his stomach and whoosh! Down he went, his paws barely touching the steps as he slid his way to the bottom. By the time he reached his food bowl, he was up on all fours again, happily wagging his tail as if nothing unusual had happened.
At first, his owners assumed it was a one-time fluke—maybe he lost his balance or misstepped. But nope. The next morning, when breakfast time rolled around, he did it again. And then again the next day. It soon became his signature move.
Now, every morning is a toboggan event. As soon as he hears the sound of kibble hitting the bowl, he races to the top of the stairs, flops onto his belly, and slides his way into the new day like a tiny, chocolate-colored torpedo. His humans have given up on trying to stop him—at this point, they just grab their phones and hit record.
The best part? He never does this at any other time. If his owners call him downstairs for a walk or playtime, he trots down the steps like a normal dog. But when it’s time for food? Gravity takes the wheel.
How did he come up with this idea? No one knows. Maybe he figured out that sliding saves time. Maybe he just really enjoys the ride. Or maybe, just maybe, he knows he’s making everyone laugh—and loves every second of it.
One thing’s for sure—this pup has mastered the most entertaining way to start the day.
