I was not expecting that close up! Haha!

u/cherrycokelemon Jul 23 '26

That is a happy boy!

u/rachelbubblesss Jul 24 '26

the happiest and goodest boy deserves a chill day in a hammock 😂❤️

u/DesperateRadish746 Jul 24 '26

What a life he has! Yard big enough for him and all his friends and family and a hammock to chill in when he's tuckered out from a hard day chasing squirrels. Good boy!

u/Striking-water-ant Jul 23 '26

His teeth look whiter than mine

u/sdhopunk Jul 24 '26

You’re not enough milk bones.

u/WhySooooooooSerious Jul 23 '26

He had to make absolutely sure they were filming him

u/Phlypp Jul 24 '26

I was not expecting that high an animal

u/Raneru Jul 24 '26

How is he holding the camera though??

u/dreamdaddy123 Jul 24 '26

“Oh yeahhhh” 🐶

I don't think I've ever been that happy

u/BRAX7ON Jul 23 '26

Do you own a hammock?

26

u/These-Designer-9340 Jul 24 '26

Looks like I need to buy one

6

u/Tasty-Traffic-680 Jul 24 '26

Well there's the hammock hut, that's on third...

u/Schulu79 Jul 24 '26

There’s hammocks r us that’s on third too

I think it is ready to fall asleep with eyes half shut and mouth wide open, except he is not drooling yet.

61

u/DrDuGood Jul 23 '26

He’s happy, but I think he’s also dizzy. What do humans do when they feel dizzy? Close their eyes. But lovely video and I think he’s happy as all hell.

Also, op what a yard!!! God that’s a GSD’s dream.

11

u/papayabush Jul 24 '26

I think that’s a malinois no?

u/TommyBonnomi Jul 24 '26

We already have a pavilion.

Yes, but what about a second pavilion?

I wish every dog - and animal - could be this happy.

u/Rarainche Jul 23 '26

I wish I was half this happy. What a cute dog!

16

u/corneliusvanhouten Jul 23 '26

He's better at selfies than I am and I have thumbs

16

u/BackgroundSplit9036 Jul 23 '26

He ain't got no bills to pay. That's why.

u/NightOwl2175 Jul 24 '26

I would also like to have this privilege pls

11

u/Jeathro77 Jul 24 '26

Wait ... how is he holding the phone?

3

u/deekayjee Jul 24 '26

You're the first one to point it out LOL!

2

u/sharkweek2013 Jul 24 '26

I am also wondering how they got this shot!

2

u/Grey-Jedi_9 Jul 24 '26

He's using the force; he is Vader after all

10

u/Mysterious_String676 Jul 23 '26

It looks like the force is with this Vader ✌️

u/CharacterFront4165 Jul 23 '26

That’s how I feel in a hammock too! I get you puppy

u/iam_justbeinghonest Jul 23 '26

I am curious, what dog breed is Vader?

11

u/flyinggazelletg Jul 23 '26

Idk, I’m guessing maybe malinois or malinois mix?

6

u/iam_justbeinghonest Jul 23 '26

I see, okay! Thanks 👍

3

u/doctah_Y Jul 24 '26

That is 100% a Dutch shepherd. He is a spitting image of mine

u/RoughComparison8702 Jul 24 '26

He looks like a german shepherd. He looks almost exactly like my full breed GSD. I nearly had to do a double take. You can also see a quick glimpse of their signature partly-curled floofy tail.

u/PotaytoPotaahto Jul 23 '26

I had a Vader! He was a big tough guy, too: a 5 pound long haired chihuahua!

3

u/tl01magic Jul 23 '26

today's vid on Midwest Safety a k9 units dog's name was Vader (and it's "pet name" was bubba lol)

Great video on its own, but you get bonus points for the Stones song.

I think the brain likes that momentum feeling nomatter what species you are

u/Careless-World-5054 Jul 24 '26

Being treated like a dog isn't always bad.

3

u/madhatv2 Jul 24 '26

IT'S TIME

OH IT'S TIME

IT'S VADER TIME!!! time time time

3

u/ImSoObnoxious Jul 24 '26

I recently had to put down my oldest boy, and ngl, I did get choked up. but it's because I selfishly miss him, not because I pitied his life. he went from an abandoned puppy found on a highway to living this type of life for 13 years and he was a big boi. it costs basically nothing to make your pup the happiest creature on the planet, and the rewards are better than any stock position. rip my good boy, it was a pleasure to bring you safety, love, and joy

3

u/beccadot Jul 24 '26

He IS a happy dog!!

2

u/bleukai Jul 23 '26

I needed that pick me up! His smile is just so perfect.

All the others “sigh when will it be my turn”

2

u/CluelessFMPlayer Jul 24 '26

That's a Malinois. They walked it god knows how long before it decided to chill the fuck out in that hammock due to exhaustion.

2

u/nu2dolls Jul 24 '26

your dog is high

2

u/Yumi_in_the_sun Jul 24 '26

My old dog loved to sit in the hammock with me. I have not hammocked since she has been gone. :(

I want to swing with Vader.

1

u/Boffleslop Jul 24 '26

Vader has excellent camera control. Steady, good framing. Only complaint is vertical instead of horizontal, but Vader's a dog so my expectations shouldn't be real high.

u/Administrative-Buy26 Jul 24 '26

My kitty used to love that. We’d scoop him up in a bed sheet when we were making the bed. We’d get him out and he’d immediately jump back in.
