These days, you can take your furry friends almost anywhere. Some restaurants. Coffee shops. Definitely most outdoor spots and events. Sometimes on airplanes. And that’s a good thing because we adore our fluff babies! But we haven’t seen many pets at sporting events. And definitely not in the front row of sporting events. That’s why a recent TikTok video from TikTok user @brodiethatdood caught our attention.

It is just a 23-second TikTok video, but it is absolutely shocking and hilarious. The video features Brodie, a goldendoodle, and his human father at a hockey game—in the front row. It honestly looks like a father and child checking out a game together, but instead of the child being a human, it’s a goldendoodle. The video’s caption reads, “Pretty much the same thing as sitting behind a large hairy toddler.”

“This Guy Blocked My View All Night”

The video starts with a clip from a few rows behind Brodie and his father, and shows Brodie—with ear muffs protecting his hearing—turning around to watch the crowd rather than the actual game. The caption on the actual video says, “This guy blocked my view all night.” Then the clip cuts to a shot of Brodie turned back towards the game, revealing that he has his own custom jersey with his name on the back.

Then there are multiple cute clips of Brodie repeatedly leaning into his father, seeking snuggles, kisses, or both. And a clip of Brodie’s father looking down at his phone while Brodie rests his head on top of the back of his father’s neck. Then we get some hilarious shots of Brodie very intently taking in the game, including a hockey player getting checked into the glass by another hockey player right in front of Brodie. The video concludes with all the fans standing and cheering, reacting to something that happened during the game, and Brodie looking around, taking it all in.

“Imagine fighting for your life on ice, and then you see a glimpse of a dog in a headset watching you,” commented TikTok user @Galdc. “He IS the view,” commented TikTok user @Meghan. We totally agree.
