Mr. Hank the Bulldog doesn’t want to be left out. The adorable pup came down with a serious case of FOMO while playing at a playground with his human’s niece. Jealousy set in, and Mr. Hank had to try what the cute toddler was trying. He even got his human to join in the fun, because sliding is fun, but sliding with your human is even better.
Mr. Hank’s Bulldog shenanigans were shared via a charming social media post captioned, “He insisted he sit on my lap at the end.” In the video, Mr. Hank can be seen climbing the play structure’s stairs to reach the top of the slide. From there, he launches himself over and over down the slide, eventually coaxing his human into a tandem ride for two.
Mr. Hank shows no signs of fear or fatigue. This guy could slide all day, and he probably would.
Charmed viewers slid into the comment section to share their reactions to Mr. Hank’s playground debut.
One wrote, “The most Bulldog thing I’ve ever seen.” Another added, “Bulldogs are so jealous, but I love it.”
“My Bulldog also loves to use the public slide at our local playground, but only the short one,” shared another.

Some commenters also raised safety concerns, including the leash still attached to Mr. Hank’s collar. One person wrote, “I was so scared the leash was going to get caught on the slide. Please be careful. He’s so cute.”
The creator responded by assuring viewers that Mr. Hank’s leash was in no danger of getting caught.
The concern does highlight the importance of safety for dogs on playground equipment. Like small children, pups risk getting limbs caught on slides. Likewise, dogs whose growth plates aren’t fully closed may be at risk of muscle or bone injuries when using children’s play equipment.
Recognizing the persistence, or stubbornness, of many dogs, it can be challenging to keep a determined pup off a playground slide, especially when they see their humans enjoying it. If your dog insists on joining in, make sure they are always supervised, which may mean keeping them on your lap and turning it into a slide for two.
