Goldendoodle Behaves So Human-Like It Has Owner Trying To 'Find the Zipper' - Newsweek

One dog's bizarre human-like behavior has stunned the internet as 1-year-old goldendoodle Brady gained more than 87 million views on TikTok.

The reason for the dog's new viral fame is thanks to a video of him doing something unusual—sitting upright on the stairs like a human.

Brady's owner Lawrence, who didn't share his surname, shared the video of the dog sitting on the stairs of his New York apartment, joking in the caption: "Trying to find the zipper on my goldendoodle after this."

The post quickly amassed over 10 million likes and thousands of comments from viewers who couldn't believe their eyes.

"First time I noticed I was pretty shocked but thought it was funny and wanted to share," Lawrence told Newsweek. "The video going viral is a cool experience. I'm going to share more videos of Brady acting human."

In the comments, viewers reacted to the unusual dog position with shock and amusement.

"Why did this scare me?" asked Ell Hemingway. While Emily agreed and said: "Genuinely horrified I would never look at him the same."

Emma Louise Wiggins said: "My goldendoodle does this too. Why do they have knees?"

J.scroll3.0 dubbed Brady a "fully conscious puppy," while GD said: "My husband and I always joke that goldendoodles have little human souls trapped in them because of their eyes but seeing this makes it kind of too real and scary now."

While Brady's sitting position may look a little scary, dogs sitting like this isn't that unusual.

According to Wag! Walking, this behavior is linked to breed variety and anatomical preferences. Dogs like Great Danes and other breeds with long hind legs often sit in unusual positions for comfort, particularly to alleviate stress on their hips or backs.

"Though the human-like posture doesn't exactly look comfortable on a dog, it is believed that the position offers some relief to hip or back stress, typically by supporting the lumbar region and centering the weight of a dog's chest over the rest of the body," Wag! Walking said. "It has been found to be slightly more common in dogs with hip problems such as hip dysplasia... If you notice your dog moving stiffly or having difficulty getting up and down, you might want to schedule a visit with your veterinarian."
