I know the holidays are over, but we can’t help but remember all the fun moments we had despite the past couple of years being difficult because of the pandemic. Perhaps having the semblance of a normal holiday season despite the existence of the coronavirus is a beaming silver lining around the clouds.
If you did not get the chance to celebrate the holidays with your loved ones, don’t fret. Just watch the dog video below and believe me, you’ll once again feel like a little kid opening your presents on Christmas Eve. And if you happen to love doggos, then this clip is perfect for you.
Just a little warning, though, the video features Mariah Carey’s “All I Want For Christmas Is You.” So if you’ve had enough of that song, feel free to put the video on mute.
As the video’s title suggests, this took place in Mexico, which makes sense because piñatas are very popular there. They use piñatas for many occasions and one of which is during Christmas. If you’re not familiar with them, piñatas are colorful containers that are usually made of paper, and they have candies or toys inside them.
Traditionally, a piñata is opened by breaking it with a bat, and the person who will do it must be blindfolded. However, on this occasion, the family decided to let their pet doggo do the honor. And I think that this makes it more special.
In the clip, we can see the doggo jumping several times as he tries to get the piñata. Obviously, this pooch is not able to wield a bat, so his goal is to bite the piñata to break it open. The pooch couldn’t get to it after several tries, so his humans decided to lower the piñata a little bit so their doggo could reach it.
After grabbing the ribbons attached to it, the doggo was then able to take a bite of the bottom part of the piñata, and the candy started pouring out! The kids and the adults then gathered underneath the piñata to collect the sweets. I just hope the doggo also got a tasty treat for his efforts.
