Many dogs have very peculiar and enduring personality quirks. The ways they express these can be very amusing. Sometimes, this involves a dog not even acting like a dog at all. Sometimes, they will act like a cat. This behavior can be every bit as cute as it sounds. Just take the adorable Labrador puppy in this video below, for instance.
This curious guy gives off some serious feline energy as he chooses his unexpected happy place, and it is every bit as adorable as it sounds! Just one look at his floppy ears and expressive eyes will be enough to set any canine lover’s heart aflutter.
What was this dog thinking? What led to this enduring behavior? Who’s to say, but the end result is undeniably adorable. At one point, this precious Labrador actually manages to fit his entire body inside this flowerpot. And he actually sits inside of it pretty easily. When he puts his head down, if you didn’t know to look for him in the flowerpot, you honestly wouldn’t even know he was there.
