A miniature schnauzer's excited jumps after seeing his owner come home from work has delighted viewers on TikTok.
The chocolate-colored canine was captured leaping up and down with glee after spotting its owner, known online as @brinicoleandlondon, walk through the front door. The dog, named London, bounded up and down in his playpen with such rapid-fire energy that it is easy to see why she joked in the post's caption that he is "half bunny."
London's owner shared the joyful moment on TikTok on March 2, and the clip has gone viral, racking up more than 1.6 million views and over 263,000 likes to date. The footage showing London's hilarious display of affection at the sight of his owner has warmed the hearts of countless viewers online, reminding many of the unmatched bond between dogs and their humans.
An overlaid text across the video played into the comedic nature of the jumps.
"The breeder didn't tell me he was half bunny," the text read, while the post was captioned: "I be just as excited to come home from work and get greeted like this."
The schnauzer breed is well known for its lively temperament and loyalty, traits that 2-year-old London displayed. His enthusiastic greeting is not only a testament to his spirited personality but also a reflection of the close bond he shares with his owner. Schnauzers are often described as affectionate, friendly, and highly attuned to their families thanks to their intelligence, according to American Kennel Club.
In comment after comment, TikTok users shared their delight at the greeting, comparing London's hopping antics to how their own pets react when happy. Others have poked fun at the viral moment, drawing comparisons to pop culture figures with similarly boundless energy.
"We don't deserve dogs man," one viewer commented.
"The jumping has me scream crying," another added.
"Dog-phaba tried to defy gravity," another viewer said, referencing the musical Wicked.
"I'm convinced he has springs in his legs," London's owner responded.
"He reminds me [of] the Lorax for some reason," another said.
"My [miniature] schnauzer is half grasshopper, half mountain goat," another commented.
