The plan was simple: a quiet hike to get some fresh air and maybe some alone time. But Matty, the Bernese Mountain Dog, had other plans. In the video shared by @michalittlerunaway, you see the exact second the walk stops being peaceful and turns into a full-blown social tour.
Matty has an unshakable belief that strangers are just friends he hasn’t greeted yet, and it shows. He is on leash as his human, Misha, tries to pass a few people taking photos along the trail. Instead, Matty locks in on a kneeling photographer and leans in with a sweet little “henloou,” as the on-screen text helpfully translates. From that point on, the hike belongs to him.
Dog can’t stop meeting people on his walk
The woman didn’t even have a second to figure out what was happening. She spun around, and BAM! Matty’s face was right there, inches from hers. She just cracked up laughing and asked Misha, super politely, if she could pat him. And Misha was like, “Yes, he’s friendl” — exactly what Matty was trying to tell her all along. He immediately starts handing out kisses like it’s his civic duty, clearly delighted to be appreciated. The text pops up again, reading “luv you alwedy,” which feels accurate.
As the attention builds, more hikers stop. Phones come out. Someone whistles to get his attention. Matty absolutely works the camera, posing like he is totally used to the paparazzi frenzy! He’s thoroughly soaking up all that admiration — what a natural!
Misha, meanwhile, comes across as a classic introvert who just wanted an uneventful walk—and accidentally brought a celebrity along. She seems to have made her peace with it, though. What makes the whole thing work is Matty’s energy. Big dogs like him often have that specific brand of confidence that instantly disarms people.
He’s not pulling or demanding. He’s just… there, ready to say hello to anyone who looks remotely interested. Judging by the 152,000 likes and comments calling him a “social butterfly” and “joy spreader,” most viewers agree: this hike was never going to be quiet — and really, it’s better this way.
