There are many reasons as to why dogs chase their tails. Regardless of reasons, one thing that we can agree on is the fact they look funny and adorable while they’re at it. Testament to this fact is Max the dog’s viral existential crisis after catching his own tail!
Max’s video of catching his own tail is taking the internet by storm. The incident was posted by a Twitter user and as of press time, the video has been viewed 7.51M times.
Max is actually the dog of the friend of the Twitter user who posted his video. In the post, you can clearly see how determined Max was in chasing his own tail. Luck seemed to be on Max’s side for after just one spin and during his second try, he actually caught his tail!
What made it all the more adorable and viral is what happened right after. As seen in the video, Max was surprised and clueless after catching his own tail. In shock with his luck, he looked at his caught tail while he had it inside his mouth. It took seconds for him to process what he wanted to do right after. For really, what can a dog possibly do after catching his own tail? It perhaps never even occurred to him that he could actually catch it! Most dogs do it for fun and don’t even realize that it’s their tail and it’s an actual part of their body!
Naturally, Max wanted the catch to linger. Happily clueless, he held on to his own tail, walked away, and headed for the other room. He held onto his tail while walking and we can only assume that he held on to the tail for as long as he could even after reaching the other room. We may never know how Max processed his existential crisis, but what we know for sure is the fact that Max is adorable and that we’re happy to see how happy and satisfied he was with his successful catch!
